I had finally put the sleeves of my weekend retreat cardi on stitch holders. I tried it on to find that the cardi is too big. I can cross over the front (without the ribbing). The armhole length is too long. I suspected this, but you can't really tell when the whole garment is crammed onto circular needles.
I will frog the cardi (all 55 rows) and start again. But I will have to wait.
I still have two untouched skeins of the pink Denim Style. I plan on knitting a smaller size (Small - 35") for my 2nd version. I will keep the 1st version so I have something to compare with. When I feel comfortable with the 2nd version, I will proceed with the frogging of the 1st and reuse the yarn.
Lesson well learned. I should go with the size closer to my full bust of 36".

Oh no! Good that you're staying positive about it though :) I'm almost up to that section on my Buttony sweater - I put it on waste yarn to try it on and the arms were still too small... more boring knitting to go before seperating!
Isn't that funny? The garment gets more interesting (and faster) after separating the sleeves. But you're right, it just seems to go on and on and on. :)
I tagged you in a meme! I hope you can reply :)
