I frogged and restarted my sweater last night.
I realized I wanted more positive ease, and instead of the cables I want to try to make puff sleeves.
I was almost halfway done the sleeves - almost had a finished sweater! - but what's the point of making your own clothes if it doesn't turn out the way you want.
I want a sweater I will reach for and wear. and what I had wasn't it.
I added 4 sts when I increased after the neckline, and instead of eyelets for the raglan increases, I'm doing llinc and rlinc with two stitches in the raglan. Those stitches will then be added to the body for a looser fit. Two inches before I separate the sleeves, I'm going to increase by 13 sts on the top of the sleeve to add a bit of puff. Maybe a little earlier, we'll see. That will give me more sts on the sleeves overall and then when I decrease for the cuffs it'll be a little puff.
Probably will make it longer too since I know I have lots of yarn.
Patterns are just suggestions anyway.
