RIP Matcha-ina

Not to be confused with R.est I.n P.eace, Matcha-ina. No, I literally had to rip the whole thing apart and start over. Why? Because I am knitting obliviously along, ignoring the little voice which is saying "whoa. this is looking kinda...big..."

And when I and ready to start seaming, it is only THEN that I hold it up to myself and see that both sides extend past my shoulders by like, I don't know...SIX FREAKIN INCHES!!

How did this happen? I knit up a medium, I got gauge with my swatch...I was confuddled and flummoxed all at once.
So, I started over from scratch making the extra small and not knitting so loosely. And you know? I am glad that I did. The pattern looks much crisper, and now that I am on the ribbing and the end is in site, I am getting very excited.

Let's just hope it's not too small this time around...

I won't be participating in the Tempting KAL, but I am still working on the somewhat cowl AND the Green Gable from Zephyr Style AND Tulip from My Life In Stitches. I think I am busy enough for now : )
