Year of Projects: A Trip to the Frog Pond and Back

Dark and Stormy   Simple Summer Tweed V Neck     Mork              Color Affection    Husband Sweater    Creedence       Striped Sweater   Boneyard Shawl

After much debate, I decided to frog my Less Than Perfect sweater. I measured the gauge on the body and the sleeves and while it was the same throughout the sweater, it had stretched so much that it was more than a stitch off. I decided it would be too difficult to try and reknit the sleeves to make them fit so it was off to the frog pond. 

What made this process a little easier (if there is such a thing) was that it occurred to me that while I didn't have it me to reknit the exact same sweater, I could knit something else! 

I checked Ravelry for patterns that used the same yarn (given my issues that seemed like a good plan) and I found the Simple Summer Tweed Top Down V Neck sweater. Not having to seam the sweater again was also very appealing! 

First I undid the seams:

Then used my ball winder to unknit it - that was really hard!

I used my swift to make skeins:

I soaked the skeins for about 30 min then hung them up to dry:

Once they're dry I'll wind them back into balls then I'll be ready to cast on again!
