Why?
Why?
Why did I dare to utter the words "All it needs now are a collar and zipper, so it shouldn't take me too long, right?" (It's almost as dangerous as saying the words "hey, neither of the kids has had to go to the doctor lately!" The last time I said that my son swallowed a dime. I try to not even think those words anymore).
Why didn't I think to try on the Ribby Cardi before I seamed it?
Why did I alter the pattern and make the sleeves one inch shorter?
This is the Ribby Cardi now:
I tried it on before starting the collar and instantly realized the sleeves were too short. Short enough to bug me. So, time to undo!
I have now removed one sleeve and ripped it back to the start of the cap shaping. I have washed the yarn (to remove some of the kink) and will make the sleeves longer before basting together and trying on again (I try not to make the same stupid mistakes twice, at least on the same project!)
Wish me luck.

Why? Because no matter what, human beings have a really hard time learning from their past experiences.
Why? Because you saw John's and thought, "Those sleeves look awfully long - I better shorten them," not realizing that Himself asked for longer sleeves than the pattern called for(then promptly asked if we could cut some of the length off when finished. Answer, "Do you WANT a divorce?").
Anyway, wishing you luck, m'dear.
Yeah, the one time I have made a sweater for the Italian (in 16 years of being a couple) he asked that I make the thing closer fitting than he usually liked. Then, when finished, he said it was too small and never wore it!
