"I totally feel the same way! It is worth the time to start over and make it right! My husband does woodworking and once he saws his wood, it is a done deal...not always a way to fix errors. But...this is just yarn.....take it apart…"

Melissa Burnett replied to Nancy Cook's discussion Knitting a sweater HELP"She's referring to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Nancy Cook replied to Nancy Cook's discussion Knitting a sweater HELP"I take it ..."frog it" must mean start all over???? But you are right. Why try and make something work when you are going to end up hating it. It's a sweater for my husband and I know he would feel obligated to wear…"

I am knitting a sweater with ragland sleeves and have the back finished. I am almost finished with the front when I noticed my needles I was using were smaller than the ones I used on the back.
