Oy.

I finished the first sleeve of Mossy last night.

I ripped out the first sleeve of Mossy today.

Although it turned out exactly as I had planned, I didn't like the finished product. Too narrow for the design. It really needs a more relaxed sleeve shape. So I'll give it another shot. Times like this, it's good to be knitting with aran weight. And top down. Definitely, top down.

    good call. When you put big things on your sewing dummy and I can't see her, I like to pretend that your playing the invisible man trick.

    I am especially struck by the ball of yarn balanced atop the turtleneck. Quite striking and artistic.

    Oh, and the sweater is nice, too. ;-)
