I over came my knitters block and had an idea for a sweater. I was so excited about this idea that I forged ahead without thinking it through all the way. That's how I do a lot of my projects and sometimes I have happy accidents, and sometimes I don't. This happens to be one of those times, it doesn't work out.

I cast on and worked the sweater in the round from the bottom up, and everything was going so smoothly until it came time to separate the front and back for the arms when I realized my cables were off center. I wanted a panel of cables in the front center and have the cable follow the neckline up to the shoulder. I miss counted somewhere, either in my planning or in casting on, and had 32 stitches on one shoulder and 25 on the other. I guess it would of worked if the wearer had a crooked neck. I took it off the needles to frog it and decided that not only was it crooked, it was also to small. So in a way it's kind of a good thing. I learned from my mistake; I know what went wrong and what I need to do to fix it. I've frogged the whole thing and will start over from the beginning. This time I actually have a plan.
