But in a sense it's better that they are too big than too small...Though not really when you've worked so hard. That is such a shame - the colour of your Drops Sweater is so great. And it is WAY big hey? What are you going to do with it? That sucks! But in a sense it’s better that they are too big than too small…Though not really when you’ve worked so hard.

That is such a shame – the colour of your Drops Sweater is so great. And it is WAY big hey?
What are you going to do with it?

On size 11 needles I got gauge, but when I started the jacket it was huge. So I switched to size 9 needles. This came out looking right. I knit the sleeves the way it said and couldn't get them to fit on correctly. So i picked up stitches around the armhole and knit down, decreasing a little along the way. But when I was done and tried it on, the shoulder area was too small. So mine looks absolutely nothing like the original. I left it as is and just put a button on the bottom hem holding the bottom parts together. I love it. But it is nothing like what I was really hoping for. Check it out on Ravelry.

Okay maybe that isn't what others would do, but I think it might be a solution. That sewing machine is looking good…little stitching, chopping, ouch lost yarn.
