Perfectionist, much?
I screwed up the raglan increases and have 3 increases in a row. No one in a million years would notice this, but I suspect it will drive me nuts until I rip back and fix it.
I’m tempted to rip it all out, anyway. If I do, I’ll use GoodKarma’s neck modification and chart the lace pattern or pick a different lace pattern entirely. I was thinking about starting with the neckline ribbing immediately instead of picking up stitches later, but I like the dropped neck more and I can’t do both at the same time. I like Whistlepea’s picot variation, especially around the sleeves. If I stick with short sleeves, I might stick with the puffy sleeve cap; I have enough yarn to do 3/4 length sleeves, in which case a picot edging would be nice, but the puffed sleeve cap would have to go.
I’m going to let it sit overnight and see if I can leave it as-is. I’m doubting I’ll be able to. It’s no wonder I’m so slow to finish projects.



Hello! I can highly recommend revamping the neckline on Rusted Root. I plan to make another one someday, with the same neckline or even a smidge lower, without the puff and with 3/4 sleeves. It’s such a basic silhouette that any modifications work pretty well. Go for it!!
