WIP Wednesday: Design Snag

3

I’m still working on the same sweater, but I’m not quite as lovey-dovey about it this week.

I finished the body and the neckband, which is good:

Dream body

But the little jog where the neckband ribbing meets the placket ribbing is bothering me. Which is bad.

Dream jog

The stitch markers are standing in for buttons.

It’s especially bad because I wove in all the ends already… thinking that the main reason I didn’t like the look was because there were dangling ends everywhere. *facepalm*

I think I might have to unpick all the ends, rip it out, and try again… which doesn’t make me very happy. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my year + of designing, it’s that time spent re-doing something that isn’t quite perfect is time well-spent. That was true when I wasn’t designing, too, of course. I just didn’t want to hear it then.

Want to help me get psyched up for all that ripping? :-(

    I love the tiny cable ribbing!

    It’ll be easier to rip now instead of later when you don’t know excatly where your ends are woven in. By the way the design looks real pretty.
