[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Sweater is finished

[slery]

Congrats, Becky.

I, too, am working on a sweater/top. Originally, I was planning for 
short sleeves but will probably make them long so I can wear it this 
fall and winter.

It is a custom pattern using guidance from a website. I am writing the 
pattern as I go and if I don't like something, I rip it back out and 
start over. The other night, at dinner theatre, I lost about ten 
stitches and unfortunately they fell in a section that included 
increases where one side of the increase was knit and the other purl. I 
am pretty good at picking up dropped stitches or running down some 
stitches that were the opposite of what they should have been and fixing 
those and taking them back up to the working row. Well, these increases 
made it very difficult make sure I was replacing the stitches so I just 
ended up ripping the whole thing back out (6 balls of dk weight). So, I 
made some more adjustments to the pattern and have started it for the 
fourth time.

Here's hoping I get to wear it this winter.
