I am in a state of sweater fear. After the troubles I had with the final shape and size of Camisa, I think I’m a little gun-shy. I’ve been knitting on Juliet all month (I haven’t been able to accomplish any heroics, but it’s been steady progress), and I’m down to (I think) the last 2 repeats of the lace pattern. Fears are worming away in my brain — will it be too big? Too small? Will the double-stranded yarn (Cascade 220) be too stiff? Too bulky? How will I finish the sleeves (I left the live stitches on waste yarn so I could add some length and shape to them, as they were kinda wing-like)? Did this project just eat up a month of my life and 7 skeins of yarn and have nothing good to show for it? Or… will it be OK? Will it be better than OK? I’m in a state about it and I almost want to turn to another project, like finishing up the Ribbons baby blanket, or my second Lenore sock, or starting the new RSC kit (I’m going to try 2 socks at once!!). But I think I will soldier on. Even if it turns out that I am knitting myself a thrift store sweater. Oy.
