There's no denying it...

I have been in denial, totally ignoring it, oblivious to what was so obvious...

What? What? You ask...

Sigh.... It's hard for me to even write about it... Despite the fact that I knit swatches, measured them, made sure all was OK, my gauge is completely off for my very first cardigan. It is with much regret that today, I rip all 42 rows and who knows how many hundreds of stitches to start over. I don't know why this is happening. I just know that if I keep going, I'll never be able to turn back and that when this cardigan is done, if it doesn't fit, I'll feel like a complete failure.

So up one needle size we go. Wish me luck!
