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:

  1. Live in denial, continue to work well past the armholes in happy mode?
  2. Rip back to where the sleeves separate from the body and add a few gusset rows to increase the measurement?
  3. Rip back again when the gussets don't seem sufficient and add a few more gusset rows for good measure?
  4. Decide the new, expanded gussets will pucker and look awful and still be totally insufficient?
  5. Decide to finally do what you've been avoiding all along, ripping back, reincorporating the 200+ sleeve stitches and expanding the raglan portion?
  6. 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?
