Rip-it. Rip-it... Yup, I frogged Bethany...the sweater, that is. Although I checked my gauge with the Valley Farms Sugarloaf yarn and size 7 circs, I must have done my gauge swatch while stressed, because once I knit 6 inches of the pattern, I measured it...and the child's size 4 sweater was going to fit ME! So...I frogged it. Do you know what size needles I'm currently using? Size 3! Quite a difference, but I truly like the tightness of the garment, and the pattern should show up wonderfully. The Sugarloaf yarn is a joy to work with, as well (shown here, in Eggplant).

Guess all those little rips before were just a warning. That is a great purple. It's the color I keep seeing for kids clothes this fall...and I wonder when I'll find something purple for myself. Maybe I'll have to make something.
