RE-SWEATERED!


 Yesterday morning I ripped out this sweater--I had used needles that were too small and it felt like armor and not a nice knit sweater!  Yup, I ripped it all out and re-knit it while I was down for the count .  It felt good to do it all again, really!  The fabric has drape now even when I  am using worsted weight yarn.  It's okay to rip out when you need to!
