Day 94:
I put the cattycorner panel on the one side today. It makes the armhole a little too snug. I think I can make it work, just sliding it down a little.
Tomorrow is an incredibly long day, taking the seniors to Philadelphia. I am looking forward to it. I think I’ll take a crochet hook and black yarn and make a bunch of triangle half grannies on the train.

Day 10:
Here’s the thing: I made some adjustments to the pattern thinking it wouldn’t affect the outcome much. It’s been two years, so Bagger no longer has the free pattern on her IG page, so I couldn’t use it even if I tried. My idea to create two panels with slight decreases at the top simply didn’t work. I put it all together this morning, and I hated the shape of it. I’ve never made a sweater before, and I have been hoping that I could just make a lovely messy thing that I would love to wear.
So I unraveled again today. I’m a little frustrated, but also determined to make the final sweater something I WANT to wear. Maybe I’ll make a poncho? I’m going to set it aside for a while and work on this hat, and some of my other projects.
So it has been a bit of a Samuel Beckett project so far. “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
