Months ago, I made a sweater… If you go back to here, and scroll down about half way, you’ll find a picture of the Scoop Neck Cardi from the Noro Debbie Bliss book, done up in Silk Garden. I love the yarn. Love love love love love it. The sweater? Not so much. All day long I’ve been sitting here thinking, rather seriously, about tearing it out and turning it into something completely different. Like a raglan sleeve pullover with little cable-y details up the raglan seams. Or… maybe a stripey boxy cardigan, done with 4-row stripes from alternating balls of the SG so it’s stripey, but subtly so. Or… Maybe I just take it apart and re-knit the two front panels. It’s mostly the neckline that just isn’t working for me. It’s too low. It’s too wide. It’s too… something.

I’m going to think on it a bit more, but in all liklihood, that sucker’s a goner. That yarn was expensive, even if it was on sale, and I hate to see it sitting in the closet, all forlorn, waiting for me to pick it when I reach in for something warm and yummy. But I never do. I think I’ve worn it twice thus far, and it’s bugged me both times.

Suggestions? Ideas?
