I've been working on the Koko Jacket for some time now. In fact, I think I started it back in November with the intention of giving it to a friend as a Christmas gift.
Well, I had some problems with the pattern. I figured I had made a few careless mistakes and left off a few rows when I couldn't get the sleeves to fit correctly into the shoulders. (I also had some other problems figuring out what the hell was supposed to be the right side which isn't exactly intuitive when you look at the finished product. The photo on the site is inadequate)
So, I ripped off both sleeves and redid one of them. Now they still don't fit. I know I followed the pattern to a tee. Either I'm an idiot, or this pattern is seriously screwed.
I don't know what to do. I've already wasted so much time and energy on this project that ripping it down would be painful. But I see now that the pattern is shit, and frankly I don't know how to write knitting patterns, so I can't just "fix it."
Oy.
I'll store it for a few months and when I've mustered my courage up I'll rip it and use the yarn for something else.
