coming apart at the seams

I bit the bullet and have begun to take apart my Elizabeth sweater. If you haven't read about all my trials with this sweater so far, you can check out the elizabeth I archive page. I decided that I can make it fit better and since I've already reknit most of it once, I know it can look good after being unraveled and redone.

It is a little sad, though. I had a wearable garment, which was unfortunately just too big (see here) and on top of that I did a marvelous job with the sewing. It's so depressing (not to mention tedious) undoing all those perfect seams! Here's some before and after pics of today's destruction.

It is, however, helpful to know that others, like Ivete are out there unraveling as well. Thanks Ivete for the feedback and support!
