I don't think Fawne is going to make it to Paris by the end of the Tour de France. My KAL (or in my case CAL) is suffering and these mountains might just be too much for me.
I've now ripped back the "yoke" section several times and it's simply not working. I'm definitely not getting the directions and it just doesn't sit right on my body.
I've been sewing for 30 years and knitting for 15, so I understand garmet construction. Maybe that's the problem. I'm assuming a certain process for the shaping and maybe that's not what the pattern is supposed to do. However, I'm thinking instead of trying to figure out what the pattern wants, this might be a "do it my way" to see if I can salvage this project at all.
Part of it is that there's a lot of stitches on the "underarm" section that gets attatched... and I think that's where I'm running into a problem. I might not attatch as many then decrease more stitches on the raglan shaping? I don't know. I'm very very frustrated and as of right now, this project doesn't look very flattering on me.
I might need to work on something with cables today.... back to my comfort zone. Or I could do some housework. Ya, I'm still laughing about that one too!!!
Also if I don't have my camera back by tomorrow, I'll dig out the old one just so my blog looks a wee bit more interesting!
