Failure

The sweater you see below was my first "real" knitting project, after the obligatory scarves and hats. It took me a year.

I had to rip out and reknit several rows on a couple of occasions, causing me to refer to it as "That Blasted Blue Sweater" whenever knitting pals asked how things were going.

Alas, when it was done, I found it was too small in the shoulders, in addition to being so itchy I could barely stand to have it on.

Ebay was out of the question. It would have broken my heart had it sold for a pittance, or worse, not sold at all.

What to do, then?

It went out in a bag of items for charity this morning.

At least I have this picture to remember it by.
