*snort* Nah, just joking, that be the neckline! Please excuse the psycho face - I'm quite shocked and don't photograph well. An unfortunate combination!Well, I've got to the point of sewing up the Mohair Gypsy Jumper, and I've reached a crossroads of some description: I have just completed what feels to be the world's longest jumper, and I have several options.
I do really love how the stripes have come through, but!You see, I did 'get gauge' (really I did!) and I measured myself before knitting to make sure I was doing the right thing to start with. I found I had to knit the largest size, to accommodate my bust measurement, and i felt that the other measurements would result in a large jumper, but then, I hadn't knit this with any thoughts of it being terribly close fitted to begin with, anyway...
So, here are the options to weigh up:
Option One: I frog it and then re-knit it entirely to the same size, but make the 'front' and 'back' panels at least fifteen stitches shorter;
Option Two: I frog it and re-knit it entirely to the same size, with smaller needles;
Option Three: I sew it up and wear an enormous, quite cosy jumper this coming winter.
Bear in mind, I am lazy and want a result right away (!)
