I want to wear the sweater, but every time I think about picking it up and dealing with it my will to knit just dies.<br /><br />DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! Seriously, I thought I was just taking a short break. Ugh.

Maybe another blocking (a little bit more agressively) could help?DKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052069331443632730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-47308419854475078982013-03-20T22:28:57.188-07:002013-03-20T22:28:57.188-07:00Oh dear.

I can definitely see why that skein is one of your favorites too, it is very, very pretty. I'm sorry to hear that sweater is giving you more trouble, if I were in your situation I would probably rip the sleeves out too even if it is heartbreaking.Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334868491094133451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-27841067972125850372013-03-20T18:38:56.297-07:002013-03-20T18:38:56.297-07:00Eek, frogging is bad enough but untwisting two ske...Eek, frogging is bad enough but untwisting two skeins at the same time? Torture. If I were you, that cardi would quickly become my "want to show off my guns" sweater. <br /><br />(Guns being sweet arm muscles, in this case.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084243860497287716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-55575454979708036402013-03-20T06:53:38.402-07:002013-03-20T06:53:38.402-07:00Cute sweater even if the sleeves are too tight. I...Cute sweater even if the sleeves are too tight. I have no idea how the sweater is constructed, but would it be possible to frog just the sleeves and re-knit them??? I think it's common to knit stockinette in the round at a tighter gauge than flat, since there is no purling involved. I've often wondered if designers should include gauge for knitting in the round and knitting flat, if their patterns involve both type of fabrics.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343685271510850819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-78214750964634248312013-03-19T23:39:49.428-07:002013-03-19T23:39:49.428-07:00I had exactly the same problem with a change of ga...I had exactly the same problem with a change of gauge on my sleeves. I think it it's because I went from knitting flat to knitting in the round. I just went up one needle size and it seemed to work, but I was dealing with Aran weight. I hope you get the sleeves you want. There is nothing worse than sleeves which are too tight!Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254578516714017969noreply@blogger.com
