Papaya Cardi fail?

Posted on February 26, 2011 by Patti_is_knittinginflashes

I LOVE the color.
I blocked it. Twice.
I didn’t weave in the ends yet. I will only do that if I decide to keep it.
I don’t have the buttons sewn on yet. See above.
I don’t like the fit.
I think this is a fail.

Side

Back

Ta-da

I don’t think I will wear this as I don’t LOVE it. I don’t have a problem ripping this apart and reknitting it into something I like. I just have to find it first!

What would you do? Find another pattern?

Please leave a comment.

Would it look nice with a skinny belt around the waist? Maybe with a white blouse underneath?

I don’t like it either. It seems a bit large. I love the color. A belt may help, but I don’t know. What can I say. I also think it is a fail. .

Nope. That is NOT a keeper. I agree with Ebby. Looks too big. All over. The color is pretty but the style is not flattering. I can see it as a low v neck cardigan…closer fit through the waist and longer…with a belt. That, IMO would be pretty.

I so wanted to say ‘no it it be fine’ and may be it would in a dimly lit room! The colour is great though. When this happens to me I kinda know part way through but them keep on anyway! 😀
