siercia: (Calvin reality)
I just realized I screwed up the front of my shapely tank in a significant way, and I'm not sure at this point if I should just go with the flow and call it an adaptation, or if I have to rip out down to below my short rows and re-do it all.

Here's what I did. I misread the pattern, and started my short rows right after I finished increasing, instead of going to 12 inches and starting my short rows there. So I started them about 8 inches up. Since I was doing 3 repeats of the short rows, I gained my needed length in with those, and started decreasing for the armholes about 3 rows after my short rows.

It did give it a slightly weird shape, where the bind off edge ended up more vertical than horizontal, and I can see how it would lay better if I started them up higher as well. I'm also not sure at all how to adjust the back if I decide to just keep going.

I am so cranky right now I could scream. I'd actually entertained fantasies of finishing the back tonight. Hahahaha. Now I just feel like going to bed, instead.

Any thoughts, suggestions, commiseration?

Work sucked rocks this week, I didn't get to go to the group dinner tonight because Widget wouldn't nap, and now I've screwed my sweater up.

I think all I want to do it crawl into bed for the rest of the night.
