Thanks for all the tea leaves love, but I couldn't stand it. Shortly after clicking the "publish" button, I went to work ripping off the button bands and most of the body. I love the neckline of this cardigan, I so want to love the cardigan on me! Yes, re-knitting the body with some added shaping will be boring, but I kind of like mindless knitting. This isn't a big deal to me, really. I'd rather invest the extra time now than have a sweater sit in my closet unworn. This is what I love about knitting - if you don't like something, just rip it out and start again :) I find the whole process of knitting so meditative and relaxing that a little extra doesn't bother me one bit. Yes, I know that I may be a little crazy, but I don't care. An updated, fitted version of tea leaves to come in the near future...knit on!!
