hop on pop
Didn't think I'd forgotten about pop, did you? I did make a few attempts to fix her up in February, but this sweater is really stubborn - it just does not want to come out right! My latest attempt at the neckline is good, but too open. I think I'll keep the same shape, but leave myself a few more stitches for the shoulders. My shy bra straps should appreciate that.

But before I go back and fix the front yet again, I decided to tackle the back. When I first finished the sweater I noticed that although the measurements were good, it rode up a little while I had it on, so my February fix-it plan was to invent a new neckline and go back and add an inch before the armhole shaping on the body and before the sleeve cap on the sleeves. Since the front is in time out AGAIN, I ripped out the pink of the back and am starting the re-knitting there.

Straight knitting - I can't get that wrong, right?

pop
can't wait to see her fixed up...i really like the color combo!
Wow, I am really impressed with all the hard work you've done on Pop! I would have given up long ago, tossed her aside only to MAYBE deal with her later. Go you!! I think Pop is going to turn out wonderful. I hope you enjoy her, after all this hard work.
The colors are so great, Alison. You are very tenacious and I think it will be well worth it. ;-)
Pop better see a lot of wear to make up for all this. It owes you! :)
