hubby’s jumper was too big.
Wayyyyy to big. It actually looked like a tent!
So I decided it had to be all pulled out and I’ll start again
Hubby didn’t care. He said he’d wear it but honestly he could of camped in it.
So on hour drive down to the farm I started to rip it out
Going
Going
Going
Going
Gone!
I’ll start again but casting on less and I won’t be increasing as much
And I’ll measure at every step instead of just going by the patterns figures
At least it was a great way of learning.
Silver lining
Oh boy! The best thing you could do though is unravel. I'd hate seeing my husband wearing something I wasn't happy with. What can I say, Happy Knitting! You can do it...... again.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know. People would “talk” lol
DeleteHe's such a good sport! But I can see you wouldn't be happy seeing it in him.
ReplyDeleteNo I wouldn’t. I’d be very embarrassed
DeleteGood luck with the second attempt!
ReplyDeleteThan you. If it doesn’t work this time I’ll quit
DeleteUnless I want the colors in a certain way, I knit from the old jumper and avoid the unravelling/rolling part of it. :) Good luck with your next attempt. I'm a process knitter (enjoy the process as much as the finished garment), so never mind reknitting things. Too many times I've found the yarn wants to be something else entirely. #truestory
ReplyDeleteI hadn’t thought of that. It’s very satisfying seeing all the round balls ready to start again. So I don’t mind
DeleteMaybe you will get 2 jumpers out of it. Pulling out can also be satisfying if you enjoy the knitting as well as yoh enjoy the end product.
ReplyDeleteKept me occupied during the long drive at least. And yes I’ll use way less yarn
DeleteI enjoy that colour combination. I hope you knit it again in the same colours
