FROG

I'd love to be able to show you a photo of my finished sweater.  I'd love to say I have been wearing it.  I'd love to be moving on to another project.  But I can't.

The fronts and back are indeed finished on the Minimalist Cardigan.  One sleeve is half knitted.  Until yesterday afternoon I thought that the other sleeve was done up to the sleeve cap.  When I was ready to shape the cap, I double checked my stitch count.  That's when I realized that I had used the numbers for the WRONG SIZE even though I had highlighted the correct numbers in BRIGHT YELLOW!

Frog. frog, frog.  TINK. TINK. TINK.  Cast on again.  Count stitches.  Recount stitches. Refer to the pattern.  Reconfirm pattern.

I now have four inches on the sleeve reknit on the correct number of stitches.

Time spent knitting: 1 week
Stitches unraveled: 10,320
Reminder to check the pattern: priceless
