It blows when...
It blows when you make a sweater that you really like and are proud of and then try on 6 months later and realize that it makes you look like a sack of potatoes because you made the body far too long and what was supposed to have hit at the waist actually hits midhip, so the waist shaping pooshes out, creating a lovely a-line and hiding all of the curves you want to emphasize and emphasizing the ones you don't.Yes.
It does.
I like the idea of the sweater as it should be, so I'll probably make another one, but with the Red Heart TLC I used, it's not worth it to rip out and re-use. Might as well buy some cotton wool ease and make something more wearable. And hey, I have a button for it too!
