Kim Knits: A-Frogging we will go....

A-Frogging we will go....

After blocking and seaming the Lana Grossa cardigan, it is way too big! It is about 52"!!!! I have no idea how that happened. The pattern originally had a finished chest of 37". I thought I added 6" to end up with 43" but apparently not.

So, I have unseamed the two fronts and frogged them. I am going to reknit the fronts as written, no extra repeats. I figure that will take me a couple of weeks to do. so close and yet so far :-(

sorry... SO sorry whyaaaaahhh

It sure is beautiful! I know you'll be happy with the finished project, tho. You need Grumperina aka: GENIUS type help to make sure of the math before you start again, just to double check. I'm sure I would have to get help. Especially after that experience.; 3:37 PM
Becka said...: Sorry about the frog pond. We all make these kind of mistakes now and again, you know. I just made a moebius on a top I was making...had to frog, too.; 4:18 PM
Kim said...: April...just the fronts need to be redone...shouldn't take long. I still think my math was correct but the sweater grew somehow :-); 6:32 PM
Kim said...: Sorry to hear the cardi was too big! It is going to be gorgeous when you are finished, though.; 9:26 AM
Kim said...: How frustrating... Erm.. did you wash your gauge swatch to see if the yarn grows with washing/blocking? That's the only thing I can think of that would have gone wrong.

Hey.. we're three Kims in a row!; 2:02 PM
