Which is absolutely fine if you're into knitting for the journey rather than the destination. But in this case I wanted to present this jumper to my Dad as an anniversary present. With a week to go I started to spend whole days knitting and then one night I went through all the way through the night till 6am!
I presented it to him 'unfinished' but blocked and it was mostly all there. Something wasn't right with the neck which I wanted to take out and work again. The sleeves were different lengths (a long story) and I decided to let him try it on before deciding whether to make one shorter or the other one longer.
The fitting was a little disappointing. The length wasn't quite right. They're not meant to be long, but this did need an extra couple of inches in order to look right on my Dad. The sleeves were a little tight. Yes, these jumpers are worn tight but there should have been a little more room in the sleeves, particularly at the top of the arm.
Only after performing some surgery and correcting what I thought I'd got wrong with the shoulders and the neck did I spot what was really up. I was looking at an old blog post about my red one and realised that I'd missed a whole section of the pattern on the front and back! Can you see it?
Well, I'm not going to do any more all-nighters on it. I'll work on it as I would any project, ie a little each day, and it'll be done when it's done. Maybe before his birthday in August!!
