rip it...rip it good!
unfortunate, but here it is before me. my big sack sweater that didn't turn out to be big enough. the finished measurements in the instructions seemed like it would be big and baggy for me (perfect for feeling lazy and bundling up in), but when i finished, it was short and slim. :( boo. so here i am with my first frogged project...a big pile of curly yarn. yuck. this pile isn't even the whole sweater...i got tired of pulling and winding around my feet (to re-hank), so what you're looking at is the neck, the arms, and half the back. i'm pretty bitter at how long it took to knit (and also how long its taking to frog), but i guess i had fun while i was knitting it...so i'm not completely put off. at some point i'll be re-inspired: i'll try to straighten the yarn and i will knit this crazy sweater again. tomorrow is another day! luckily, i have more yarn to make the project a couple sizes bigger...cause obviously i'm bigger than my knitting book said i am.

sucks about frogging scarlett :P need help winding the yarn back up? your cables look really good, unlike the cables i'm working on, very wonky. the next one will turn out perfect i bet!
it was beautiful! i'm sure it will be v-gorgeous when it's re-done. how is it that i started the whole knitting thing and haven't knitted since i got you started???
