Something Thistle?

Knitting sweaters makes me so neurotic and Something Red has given me more headaches than it really needs too. I was worried about sizing the other night and decided to add some bust shaping. That didn't turn out so well and last night I frogged back about 4". I knit a couple inches and tried it on. I think it may be too small around the boobage area. That and now I am thinking that the ribbing right under said boobage will make me look even bigger than I am. Hubby told me to just put it aside for a day or 2 and come back to it later.

Good thinking but last night in bed I thought of other sweater I could make with the same yarn. I remembered this sweater from IK Summer 06. I love the cardigan but maybe done a little bit longer. Sos this morning I swatched with some extra 220. Love it! Now for the big question...Do I frog Something Red and start on the Thistle Lace Cardigan?

  • Well, IMHO, put Something Red aside and go for Thistle. That is if you aren't planning on using SR yarn for Thistle...then..well I'd frog as you know Thistle will fit, just by looking at it (love it and I'd make it longer too!), it's us girls with boobage's that have hard times with fitted, knitted tops...in my experience of 1 top, so you can see I'm in no hurry for another! Thus I have 2 cardi's in the wings and a vest! So..um..hope I was a tiny bit of help! :)
