FLEDGELING Designer! Fledgeling!
So.
Yes.
Not every design experiment is a good one.
My library had a booksale last May. I got a lot of great patterns for $3. Total. One of them was a terrifyingly 80s Classic Elite pattern called Rainy Afternoon by Norah Gaughan. The stitch pattern was interesting and it seemed like a nice sweater, so I figured I'd cardiganize it and make the scoop neck a bit more scooped.
Yeah.
As you can tell, I scooped the neck too much too soon. I also made it too big on me. I picked up stitches poorly for the cardigan bands to keep the stitch pattern in set, so it bunches and ruffles. I also made the buttonholes too small, so getting the buttons in is an athletic event.
I really should rip the bands and fronts out and reknit them. But right now, I just can't stand to.
