This sweater was supposed to be a nice, easy, quick knit. It started out easy but by the time I was done with the back the thing had grown like wild flowers. You can definitely say that a size 10 needle is wrong, the gauge is wrong and the measurements are wrong. I ended up ripping out all my hard work, going down to a size 9 needle and a smaller sweater size. I have now finished the back, left side and left sleeve which I seamed together to see how it fits. The sleeve seems a little bulky and the sweater is still a tad too big. Do I want to rip again or just go with it? I think I'll take it to my knitting group tomorrow and see what the "experts" think (AKA Lisa and Sue). For now, I think I'll just sit and wallow in my own frustration.
