“Sir…”

“…do we get to win this time?”

So I thought I was finished with Navigate, but after a few wears CB and I really aren’t happy with it. The neckline is just too low down.

It would be fairly straightforward to undo the cast off and increase the amount of ribbing, but I’m not sure that would result in the kind of look we’re going for. That would have more of a…Elizabethan Ruff kinda vibe.

Maybe I can knit an inch or two of stockingette and then move into ribbing? Thing is, that might still look silly and I can’t think of a way to find out until I actually do it.

Ideally I’d rip right back down to where the pattern repeats stopped, and just carry on knitting in pattern for a few more inches. I don’t know if I’ll be able to work out where I was in the pattern though. I did keep my charts (not sure why I did, perhaps I sensed I might have to re-knit it?) so maybe I can fudge it from them. The front of a complicated knitted jumper isn’t really the kind of thing I want to fudge but needs must as the devil drives.

Also not sure how a couple of inches of unblocked jumper will look like plonked on the top of the blocked pieces, but I guess we’re already out of my comfort zone, might as well dance around a little while I’m there.
