I did not turn on any of my sewing machines. But I have been working on my Tapestry sweater which now looks like this - approaching the point where it would split under the arms, it's probably one third complete:
A few rows back I had an error and had to rip out several rows. While I had it off the needles, I could spread it out and realized it's just not big enough for me. While I reknit the rows I removed, I contemplated whether I could block it larger or should plan to give it away. I have decided there's too much work in this to give away and besides, I wanted to wear it! I could take it apart and try knitting on larger needles to get my size, but I like the density of the fabric I'm getting so, this morning, I ordered more of the yarn and when it arrives, I'll rip all of this out and start over. This would make some knitters cry, but I know it will be worth it.

It's the ONLY way to get to be the way you want it to be. You will be so pleased once you're done. What an accomplishment!! It's a beautiful pattern.
When we rip it out, we get TWICE our money's worth for the yarn. That's what I keep telling myself...
