I'm currently knitting a top-down cardigan for my sister. I altered the original pattern a bit, and... I swear this sweater is evil. I've had to restart it three times. This time I had to rip back because somehow it was ten inches too big. I ripped back to the point I'd marked as the right width, and remeasured... and it was four inches too small. I swear to Bob, every fucking time I measure this thing it's a different gauge.
I'm not really mad or anything, it's just fun to swear at it and say I need a priest to exorcise the yarn. I had ripped back a skein and a half's worth, and I'm back to work on it today.
I will not be defeated by a mere sweater. Hopefully it'll work out this time. Otherwise, I think it's going in the back of the closet...
