I have just finished this very cute sweater by Nikki Van De Car, Maile, ( http://www.whattoknitwhen.com/)
and even though, apparently, my guage was off (stupid guage) and apparently, I didn't have enough green tweed cotton,(stupid stash yarn)...it still turned out well, inspite of itself. I always think that a well placed accent color stripe (panicked effort to save said sweater), and perhaps different colored collars and cuffs (another effort to stretch green yarn,all be it a foresight) always add a bit of whimsy to an already fantastic design! I say, never fear a pattern taking on a life of it's own (constantly eyeballing that last, ever dwindling skein of precious green yarn) and forge onward....to a really cute, 12-16 month sweater that started as a newborn sweater!
