Giving up is not aways bad

This is not good. I screwed up a few rows ago and made the classic and usually fatal move of taking it off the needles. Feh. I don't even feel like fixing it.


I have decided to rip out my clap and do it over on 4.5 mm needles. It's too loose and ain't going to get any tighter over time. Also, I'm going to make it a bit wider after the "it stretches lengthways, not widthways discussion". Big step for me. I'm not ususally good at do-overs.

Also - I'm going to put modern saddle shoulders in Jo's sweater if I can figure it out. Square sweaters with dropped shouldres are so 80's, man. If I'm going to re-do it, I should make it chic, n'est pas?

Goofy pic of Miko with le tigre. Matching the shaping is proving to be a huge trial, but I have matched up the top and bottom pattern pieces and fixed the tiger's nose. That's a load off.
Things to look forward to:
And the Alligator is done. The kids love it, of course so I can knit another one fore the SP Alligator Knitalong. That should be entertaining - wielding pointy sticks at work. Perhaps Dibbs would like to join our group? It would be an improvement over Tracy.Aren't these pleasing? They came with my Etsy fabric.
