Sadness

I just bound off on Tubey and tried it on.

Well, it could be a little more unflattering...  if it had egg on, I suppose.

I think a good frogging is in order.

I need to make the shoulder part narrower so it doesn't ruck up in the back and give me more bulgy bits than I already have.

I need to rib the sleeves.  I really need to lose the stripes on the sleeves.  I need to lose the bell shape, even though that was originally one of my favorite bits of the pattern.

Instead of hideously unflattering stripes that seem to stagger drunkenly over said body bulges, I'm going to go for blocks of my favorite colors.

I need to take some measurements.  I need to measure from armpit to armpit, and I need to measure from the bump in my spine at the base of my neck to the place on my spine that intersects the imaginary line between my armpits to get the proper measurements I need.

So I need to frog.  An entire sweater.  Made up of short lengths of different colored yarns.  And then knit an entire sweater back from it.

Oh well, I must look at the bright side.  At least I don't have to weave in the ends yet!
