Need another opinion

I am trying hard to finish up UFOs. I ran across this, an entrelac sweater started last October, in Austermann Inverno. I figured out where I was, sat down, did a few squares, and really looked at it.

There is no way the front will match the back. Given entrelac's tendency to spread, the front is a good 5" wider than the back.

It's kind of....quiet. Misty. Do I really want such a serene sweater?

I was a little worried. I started the project based on yardage, and a little nervous, because I know I need to reknit the back to fit the front. I wasn't sure I had enough.

Then I saw my big ball of Berroco (mumble becauseIdon't remembertheyarn's name ..crap... Mosaic Iusedonthe cardi) Optik, that I salvaged from something else I frogged last week. And it just might look really good with the Inverno.

In order to do that and have it come out looking ok, I would have to take it back 2 tiers, and then add in a total of 2 tiers. I have 6 of 10 done.

In the meantime, more Inverno has surfaced. So running out of yarn is no longer an issue.

What do you think? I am standing by to listen. (Actually, I am sewing buttons on that last cardi, but you know...)

Reknitting

It doesn't look like this anymore. After finishing the collar and all the hems and bands (one big circle), I bound it off, took a look, and thought yuck. I knit it up using a fairly big needle, in keeping with the lace at the bottom hem, and it just wasn't good! It was floppy and unsatisfactory. So I ripped out ALLLLLL the ribbing, went down 3 needle sizes and cast on again. Wish me luck!

Again.

It's amazing what the omission of little words will do to you. When they say "Hold to the front" ask yourself "Do they mean "hold to the front OF THE WORK" or "hold to the front OF THE GARMENT". After knitting the same blah blah twice, and frogging twice, I think that's what she meant.
Damn, wish I was clairvoyant. And this designer would stop mumbling. And I wish they hadn't thrown these in nilly-willy. This shit is exhausting.

Not. Enough. Yarn.

Ah, it happens. Better that I frog it now, and start something else. I finished the 4" of cable ribbing, did about 2" of stockinette, and looked at what I had left. Not enough. I checked my purchase record, and found that no, I did not buy more. So I think this yarn will have to be the Fiery Bolero from IWK Summer 05.
