What are five things on my to-do list today? I rented a room in a house with three other people: a main tenant who would sleep on the couch (adjacent to my bedroom) and when nodding off, would bang his head on the wall an older Harley-riding-hookah-loving-out-all-night ladies' man and an internet porn star who owned a 10-foot-long boa constrictor.Ģ. I was going to school, albeit irregularly. I was working as a manager for Starbucks Coffee Company. Is it because I don't want to be negative? Is it because, really, if I don't like how it turned out, I should just frog it? Or is it because I may be admitting that sweater-knitting might not be my forté?Ī track is playing round and round in my head: This is why you knit socks. Posting them makes me irritable, and I'm a bit curious as to why. The laundry list of gripes I have is long. It may be that this is not avoidable when picking up stitches, but again, I don't really know.
This resulted in what I think is an inside-out seam. Instead of knitting the pocket separately, I picked up stitches directly from the waist of the sweater. Alternately, I could have followed a seasoned Wicked knitter's advice and just done short-row bust shaping. I increased to accommodate a large bust, but should have only increased the front panel of the sweater, ceasing arm increases at some point sooner. The second most bothersome aspect: the sleeves are too big. I did follow the schematic of the pattern, stopping the waist where it said to, but I should have gone with my instincts and made the sweater longer. My main complaint is that I should have added more rounds at the waist. The pattern is very well written, and contains no errata that I know of (some people believe there is- it's addressed on the Zephyr Blog). I must remember to give it a little bit of slack: Wicked is the first sweater I've completely finished.Īll of my complaints are due to the execution of my Wicked. I haven't blocked it yet, but it's removed from my WIP list.
