   I am getting closer and closer to trying out that pattern in Malabrigo. You must warn others of your difficulties!

   Completely unrelated to this post, just to let you know that in the Oliver's Blanket progress, your squares are in number 3! There is a photo on my blog in the side bar, and 2 of your squares are right there - one orange and one green. I'm only letting you know as you were worried you couldn't see them in number 1. Thanks for joining in! (At least I hope these were yours!)

   Oh, I can't look! :(
   
   Please say you're not giving up on it - I'm sure it will look lovely when it's done, especially in that glorious blood orange colour.

   I'm almost to the point where you're ripping back. I just need to finish up the purl/knit rows and I'm there. ;) Then on to our mini-KAL!

   Uh-oh!
   
   It's going to look great when it's done, though. That color works well in that pattern. It's beeyooteefull!

   Oh no! What happened? At least you have a lifeline in there, so all is not lost, right? Was it the RLI and LLI that didn't look good? If that was the reason for the frog, I suggest doing your own favorite increase method, which is probably what you've concluded already. Hope it works out! The color looks great.

   I empathize. I finished Zephyr's Juliet two months ago, and realized that it was too big :( (I should've heeded the 'net-advice that their patterns can run a tad large). After trying it on in numerous configurations (and admitting defeat!), I ripped it two days ago, washed the yarn (grey tweed Cascade 220), and re-wound it.
   Juliet is not being reincarnated as the Short-Sleeved Cardigan w/Ribbing from Fitted Knits! It's knitting up quite quickly, and will serve me well!
   A phoenix rises from the ashes!
   Good luck!

   The yarn is Cascade 128, not 220. Big deal, yeah...

   I know you won't quit. The color is beautiful though. I am sorry to see this but with this hobby we know the pitfalls you must encounter to improve. Consider this a good lesson and work it out!
   
   Sending you good knitting vibes!
