You know when you're knitting something and you just know? I mean, you know it's not working out, or it's not going to be what you want, or it's not going to fit, and you carry on anyway? I knew when I was knitting this that it wasn't going to be the sweater I had set out to knit, I just knew, but I knitted anyway.
I was excited about the idea that I could finish a sweater for myself in a week. With that goal in mind, I forged ahead and knit knit knit. This is what fell off my needles after 6 days:
Hmm. Not bad, but not good. Essentially, I wanted this to be a good go-to sweater. A basic enough style that I could throw on with lots of stuff, in a good neutral color. It just looks... blah. I know I wont wear it.

Survey Says: We've got a loser. The sleeves are too baggy, and it makes me look frumpy. Not cute. Sadly, this sweater is now in the process of being ripped.
Usually, when I knit something big like a sweater, and there's something about it that I don't like, I'll live with it a while, and maybe after a year or so, if I still don't like it, I'll fix it. But this this sweater, I just knew. I'm going to use the yarn to knit the Loire Cardigan from Webs instead. I don't know if I'll finish it in a week like this sweater, but at least I'll wear it (here's hoping!).
Anyway, I'm off to go rip out the rest of my fail.
