When does it become time to give up on a project? How many times are you willing to redo a garment that you really love to get it right?

More specifically, what the heck should I do with my Elizabeth I sweater?? I just can't decide and go back and forth everyday about it. To recap (check out last weeks' blog entries below), it's come out just beautiful, but is clearly a size too big. And although I must say that I am happy to find out that I am smaller than I imagined, I am not as thrilled about wearing it as I had hoped. My dilemma: although I am honestly quite pleased with how it looks, I just keep thinking how much more amazing it could look if it actually fit me!

The options are:

1. Just leave it and love it.
   
2. Redo the neck so that the emergency omigod-this-is-huge decreases are less visible and leave the rest, let's say, to drape very loosely.
   
3. Undo raglan seams, frog front, back and sleeves down to the armholes (again!) and try to math-up some smaller/shorter version of the top part. It would fit better around the bust and the shoulders, but the body would still not be form fitting at all.
   
4. Undo all seams, frog entire front and back, reknit them in the smaller size and frog the sleeves as necessary to have raglan decreases match.
   
5. Throw it in the back of the closet and never speak of it again.
   

Help! What do you think?
