Drats!

Oh dear.

I had my "Betsy Brooks" sweater all done except for the sleeves, when I noticed a mistake right across the chest (a misplaced row of garter stitch). It probably wouldn't be noticeable to anyone but me, but there is No Way In Hell I would give my worst enemy something with a mistake in it, no matter how minor, so back to the knitting bag it went until I decide what to do. I also think it would be too small for Baby. So what to do? Frog it entirely and save the yarn for something else? Frog to the mistake, re-knit from there, and chalk it up to an Exercise? Leave it be, do the sleeves, and let Teddy have a jaunty new jumper? I'll have to think on it.

Meanwhile, is it worth working on a new project for Baby?

Incidently, I found some lovely baby yarn in a Pima Cotton/Modal/Angora blend at Webbs, "Baby Bunny" by Plymouth Yarn -- I think it would work up nicely for adult garments, too, especially as the colour range wasn't limited to baby pastels. In fact, there are a number of neutrals. Take a look at the colour chart at Plymouth's website.
