I did get the Purple Patchwork Sweater done! And immediately figured out that when using an old pattern you have to keep in mind when it was generated. The way the shoulders fit me I'm guessing this sweater was designed to have those shoulder pads in them to make it look like I'm a football player. Remember those? It's no biggie, well, yes it is.
I don't want to pull out all the seams to redo the shoulders.....yes that was meant to be read in a very whiney voice. I don't like the sweater enough to put any more time in on it. Have to find someone to give it to. Or it's sweater weather now, that means Operation Warmth will prolly be getting started real soon now. It'll all work out. Good thing I made a hat to go with it.
That'll make it more attractive, well that's not fair, the sweater does look really good, I just don't like the way it fits me. I don't like the way anything fits me right now. Since I got fired from my job I've lost over 40 lbs and it makes a difference in the way your clothes look on you.And now I know NOT to make this sweater again. Or, if I do make it in a lighter weight yarn, a different color, a different collar, maybe.... Nope, just don't make it again. There are plenty of patterns out there to be tried rather than going with one that I don't like.
