I am not sure if it is the pattern or the yarn - because I have seen many nice, flattering Snow White's out there on Ravelry! I think it may just be the yarn - Sublime Aran. Anyway, this is probably the most unflattering knit that I have made. It adds about 10 lbs to my body.....I don't think any woman likes a garment that does that! It hugs in all the wrong places and just doesn't look good. I took pics of it.....and frogged it right afterward to cast on for Diminishing Ribs Cardigan with is coming alone great (and is more flattering!).
Ok. So there you have it. I really hate putting such terrible pictures up - but just like everyone else - not all my knits are that great! Snow White is a perfect example. I have been bombing out with a few other knits as well that have ended up way to big. I will post about those another time.
I finished the Seascapes Stole for my friends wedding, which is today, and will take pictures of it tonight and post about it next week. The stole turned out very pretty.
Sorry there are not any links to the patterns - we are heading out the door for the wedding and I just don't have the time to put them in.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Oh no!!! I think it looks great on you - very flattering with the vertical lines. But, if you don't love it, off to the frog pond it should go . . .

Oooh! sorry about the frogging date! I would be so mad. But, I totally know what you mean. If I make something and it is not right I just won't wear it.

Hey you, thanks for the well wishes. You have inspired me to frog FORCAST. I hate the yarn I chose for it and I refuse to ever knit another sweater all purl. ( I have two guy prospects now. A girls gotta get it right sometime)

It takes a lot of strength to frog things that don't work. Too many of us keep FOs that we know we will never wear! Good for you.

Oh well, at least you moved on and ripped it!! I'm wondering if maybe I should rip mine too. Not so sure mine looks so hot either.

Oh kiddo ~ I'm sorry about that. You have a fantastic figure, but in the wrong outfit, nobody looks their best.
Enjoy the wedding and congratulations on finishing the shawl in time!

Well done with the frogging. I can totally understand why you did that and I'd have done it just the same. You've got a great body, but this knit made a balloon out of you. Great that it's gone.
