Definitely fails to me, but other people don't seem to notice or are too polite to mention it!<br /><br />You could always take in the dress, and then add a contrast fabric, which would be a lot of work and change the dress style. But you could maybe salvage it to look like these:<br />http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/products/mx/BGB244C_mx.jpg<br />http://cast.thirdage.com/files/styles/slideshow/public/originals/Oasis%20resized.jpg<br /><br />I tried knitting a cable sweater once, and immediately gave up on it halfway into my front piece. It eventually became a knitted bag! :)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495106323357483610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522513576255574176.post-18254256020137169472013-02-25T14:58:15.583-05:002013-02-25T14:58:15.583-05:00Ooh, good point.

And yes, I was going to add sleeves, but after they came out incredibly large compared to me (and also somehow compared to the rest of the sweater), I decided I had issues with the entire item. Perhaps I should try again and have the sleeves more fitted and forget this was ever supposed to be oversized.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671918386628691376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522513576255574176.post-26827214200136671042013-02-25T14:48:27.140-05:002013-02-25T14:48:27.140-05:00I know, if only I could just keep everyone at a di...I know, if only I could just keep everyone at a distance when I wear it! I really love the fabric and it would be a shame if I had to totally throw it away... And thank you for the comment on my cables. :-) I love cables and cabling but I'm worried about how the rest of my knitting will turn out after I was so careful with this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671918386628691376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522513576255574176.post-17629460624487756612013-02-25T14:46:35.980-05:002013-02-25T14:46:35.980-05:00Maybe with something with a higher waist the jumpe...Maybe with something with a higher waist the jumper would look better?

At least jersey is inexpensive! think of it as a muslin...Layer, Stitch, Repeat.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639906543405642625noreply@blogger.com
