Aw fuck now.

Say it with me everybody. Aw fuck now!

So, finished sitcom sweater last night. Wasn't at home to actually see how it look. Did the side and neck seams, sewed the ends in, asked if someone owned an iron.

Was cold tonight while procrastinating for this paper (Hey! Guess what I'm doing now!) Tried it on. Looked at myself in the mirror.

I looked terrible. The sweater neck ends on about my bra straps. I look ridiculous. I look at the pattern again, and realize do 7 (8, 9, 10) decreases meant do 7-10 MORE decreases after you finish the pattern on the neck.

I am not amused. I really am not amused.

So, I've had to undo all of the stitching, rip everything out, and start over again from where I started binding off 4 rows early. This means I now have another 5-6 hours of work in this sweater left. And that's before blocking, button, and possibly sewing in ribbon to keep it from curling more.

But, I if Molly likes, I might make this into hooker ware for her.

Restarted Haley's hat. Added an extra 10 stitches because she does have a bigger head than I. Decided to do the 2 stitch cable once every 4 rows instead of every 2. I think I like it so far.

Time to all alone beweep my outcast state.
