I started the Slinky Rib Sweater last September (2015) for a sweater kal at my lys. I was so excited to start it. I went to the start night & met some nice people & also some really cute little ones.
As I went along I was unsure of the pattern. It had a provisional cast on which I did not do before & was so weird on my brain. But I continued. The yarn I chose was beautiful but I was very disappointed with the amount of vegetation left in it since it was a commercial processed & spun yarn. Yet I kept going....
I did not meet the dead line for the kal which was a bummer because I know I can do a sweater in about 4 to 6 weeks. I will try again though, So after I tried it on, knit it a bit longer, did the collar & button band I began doing to sleeves. Well I could not do it any longer. I was just looking the way I wanted. The fabric was just not appealing to me. I too most of it & skeined it back & though away the part that I could not undo. I don't like giving up & usually feel like a failure when I do. Today I felt I learnt something. I learnt to go with my instincts. They are the biggest tool we have.
