The sad news... Last week, this was Jarret, a sweater-in-a-basket, just waiting to be seamed. I planned to do just that this weekend. And, I did. At least, I did enough of a seaming so that I could test the fit on Adam. I was a little concerned that the armholes would be snug... Well, I was right to be concerned. The armpits were tight, and from the looks of it, the neck would have been a bit snug as well.
The truth is, from the start, because I was substituting the yarn, I had problems getting the correct gauge (when I finally sat down and swatched it out). Not to mention the months I ignored it and the notes and calculations I had to dig up when I returned to it... So, I shed a few tears and then proceeded to pull it apart. Now, this is Jarret, or at least the sleeves:
I'm trying to decide what I want to do with it. I thought perhaps I could refashion it into a sweater vest. But, I don't think it will look as nice... Adam refuses to wear a vest and it's really too big for anyone in my family.
I love the yarn (Rowan Summer Tweed), so, perhaps it will become an Hourglass sweater or a feminine cardigan for me... Meanwhile, I need to think of a new sweater for Adam.
Any suggestions?
