This fucking cardigan I’m making for my stepdad’s niece’s kid is going to make me tear my hair out I swear to god
#i CANNOT. get my stitch count on the sleeves consistent. it’s such a MESS#i’m now on attempt 3 with this sleeve#i was just going to leave it uneven but it truly looked AWFUL#and i was so proud of the body of the cardigan. couldn’t send it out into the world looking crazy like that#and i’m running out of yarn LOL#i knew as soon as i finished the body of the cardigan that i didn’t have enough yellow yarn for the sleeves as well#so i was like ‘okay i’ll add in cream as the accent colour’#but i don’t have enough cream to make BOTH sleeves in cream#i have enough yellow to make somewhat stripy sleeves#i’m considering unpicking all of this and just knitting both sleeves even if it completely changes the texture#not to mention knitting will definitely fuck up my eczema#(thank you to the anon who mentioned petroleum jelly; i did try it and it soothed the really dry patches#but putting it on the dyshidrotic part just makes the bumps feel even more gross and itchy unfortunately)#i wish i hadn’t been all gung ho like ‘yeah of course i can finish it by friday’#do you think they’ll find it weird if i essentially send a vest? a gilet?? a short sleeved cardigan???? i cannot take this#it’s breaking me down to my bare essentials genuinely#like i don’t think this end product is even going to be that good. i think i’m spending all this time stressing about it#and they might put it on him once. like why do i care#i’m just gonna have to keep checking my stitch count after every row i think. i haaate this#personal
