Okay. I think I have decided what to do with my Ingenue.
Remember the side pooching? I've been really procrastinating on doing anything about it but I finally gave it a good blocking and it may have helped only slightly.
See, not so bad from the front:Side view, not good:Back - TERRIBLE!
I almost thought I could live with the slight pooching but when I saw the back....no way!
SO, I think I'm going to try going up a needle size and redo the bottom stitch pattern. I did decide that I'm happy with the length though. Overall I think I'm going to like this sweater once I get it finished. I'm extremely temped to give it short sleeves instead of 3/4 length sleeves. I love wearing long sleeves under short sleeves and it suites our climate so much better. I think I will try it and see how it looks. My other motivation is that I wouldn't have to rip out this to have enough yarn for the sleeves!
Here's a little sneak peek at a finished quilt top waiting to be quilted (for the shop):
P.S. Thanks for the advise to switch to Google Reader....LOVE IT!!!

I love the quilt! Such pretty colors. I too switched to google reader after reading about in your last post, isn't it great!
Oh, I'm sorry about the Ingenue pooching! That's such a bummer. But your plan sounds like a good one.
The quilt is stunning - I love the colors!
