And then, when I finally thought I was done piecing it together, I turned it right side in and realized I'd screwed up the sleeve seam.
I would have left it that way and pretended it was suppose to be that way, but the other side was done right. In frustration, I put it away and didn't know whether I would take the trouble to fix it or not.
Then today, I see on one of Stephanie's blogs
(she has three) that she made a mistake on the sweater she was making for her daughter. She was fixing it and that was the inspiration I needed. I took it out and instead of surfing adoption blogs all afternoon, I finished Zoe's sweater.
Any knitters will be able to see the other little imperfections, but we're not after heirloom quality here, folks. It's just a little something I made for Zoe.

Your sweater is beautiful. Handmade items are the best!
From someone who can only knit square or rectangle things (scarves, blankets, square hats, rectangle purses, etc), I think Zoe's sweater looks absolutely awesome!!
Take care, Dawn
Wow! You blog on sweaters and get like, almost a dozen people to comment. Must be a great topic. It looks adorable by the way. I'd ask you to make one for me, but at my present size, it would take forever. Love ya...
Ooh, you're talented. What a beautiful sweater! This gives me incentive to learn and I'll have plenty of time for practice, considering the the long wait ahead of us.
