I didn't really think about what the stitches were and why.....I trusted the pattern. Until I got this far.
(That's the collar at the top....)I suddenly thought - why am I increasing and decreasing stitches like mad near the edges where the button holes are? It's actually making holes in my knitting....where there shouldn't be holes.
It was then that I re-read the pattern.I was making the WRONG sweater.
Seriously...
Well, at least when I re-do it, it will be an easier sweater to make...(Don't you think it's cool that I'm writing this post on the ferry?)

Glad you figured out you were making the wrong sweater sooner rather than later!!!
I totally don't think an iPhone would count if you were to join me in a shopping diet... You were planning on buying it before anyhow.
That is cool that you wrote this post on a ferry! Hope you're having a very nice Thanksgiving weekend!!
Oh my god that's the best diagram of what you're supposed to be making! Hilarious!!
You're so ambitious, I'm thinking maybe another scarf for me this year is all I'll be knitting!!
Hahaha-- at least you figured it out at that point and not later. The wrong sweater is DEFINITELY not a Kurt Cobain sweater! :)
I have done that more than once. I finally started xeroxing a copy and then using a marker to x-out all the stuff I didn't need and then highlighting the directions and stitch counts for the size I'm making. The good news is that your stitches look beautiful!
Ferry? Awesome.
I thought of the xeroxing but didn't get around to it. But you know what - I found an error in the pattern anyway! Bastards!
I now have it on the needles again and I'm well on my way.
More to come on the shopping diet and the iPhone. Decisions made and challenges met.
