yarn yoga

Last night I went to sleep a little upset over all the work I had done without a finished project to show for it. Honestly, I'm a perfectionist and optimist at heart, so this can turn into a good thing. I think if I had had enough yarn to finish the sweater the way I wanted to (adding more rows to the top to cover more of my shoulders), the sweater may have been too long.

Here's the plan...

I'm going to frog it AFTER I finish my shawl pull-over from the current vogue magazine. My yarn should be in soon and I don't want to tie up my needles on this sweater that I'm a little tired of looking at. Once I have the time to get started on it again, I'll frog it. Only this time, I'll take a few inches out of the length and I may slim the arms a bit. Hopefully that will give me enough yarn to finish it completly, plus give it a more fitted look. I won't be posting any photos of it, it's not worth the bandwidth.

Trebuchet, Thanks for your suggestion of adding a complementary color. It is a nice idea, but I love this Orange Brandy color so much that I want it to stand alone. :)
