Sometimes you just have to give in...
CTH Supershitsock sweater, why must you occupy my days this way?
Quick quiz. You are working a fine gauge sweater and you realize, through a gauge-measuring error, that it will not fit over your monstrosities rack puppies chest without fear of imminent arrest. Do you:
- Live in denial, continue to work well past the armholes in happy mode?
- Rip back to where the sleeves separate from the body and add a few gusset rows to increase the measurement?
- Rip back again when the gussets don't seem sufficient and add a few more gusset rows for good measure?
- Decide the new, expanded gussets will pucker and look awful and still be totally insufficient?
- Decide to finally do what you've been avoiding all along, ripping back, reincorporating the 200+ sleeve stitches and expanding the raglan portion?
- All of the above, since you are clearly out of your ever-loving mind?
If you replied 6, you are off your rocker and your name is Deb.
Now I fear I will lack the yarn required to actually finish this baby, but I can be creative if I need to. Contrasting sleeves, anyone?
Anyone else ready for Winter Knitty?
