Wrap Cardie Disaster

I've thought long and hard about this photo and this post. This is the last of the FO's that I had planned to photograph during our travels in May (I have some more FO's coming up though - ones I have finished this month!). Despite a race against the clock I did manage to get this sewn up in time to bring it with me. I carried it in my backpack taking up valuable space and not once - even on the coldest days did I wear it. I couldn't you see, because I hate it with a passion.

I don't think I've felt the love less for any knitted item I have ever made and expecially one that took me almost a month to make. The only thing that kept me going during the knitting of it was the prospect of possibly running out of yarn. That's how exciting a knit it was and the finished result is just not wearable. Not by me anyway. I hate the shape of it, it's too baggy, too long and just plain too big for me (it does fit across the back so it's not a question of possibly knitting a smaller size, the style just doesn't suit me) and to add insult to injury it adds lbs to my not so slim frame that doesn't need lbs added to it. Yuck!

For the record, here are the details:

Pattern: Wrap Cardigan from Sarah Dallas Knitting

Yarn: Rowan Wool Cotton Shade 941 and Shade 900

Time taken: A whole month of my knitting life that I'll never get back.

Difficulty: Not at all difficult just incredibly boring miles and miles of s.s.

Winner/Loser: mmm, how can I put this................................. LOOOOOOOSER!
