WIP destruction!

Many months ago, I purchased the Wool and The Gang for their quarterback sweater.  It speaks to me.  But it is knit, so I have been converting it to crochet.  Even though it is basically rectangles, it has been a harder convert for my head then some of the more complicated conversions I have done.  I was down to one sleeve yet I was having a very difficult time picking it up to finish.

Yesterday morning, I was soaking in salt water (it helps me to move easier) and got to pondering.  I really liked the stitch pattern I had been using in the Calm Cowl.   Both the Calm Cowl and the other sweater I have been converting from knit have a bit of eyelet pattern.  I like the detail.  

I then took measurements of the bit of the sweater I had done.  It was longer then the pattern and narrow enough that I might not wear it.  I like things that skim nicely but do not cling.  This would have clung and I would have only had a few select dresses that I could have worn under it.  

I am ripping it out.  It is actually not the first time.  I even started the sweater again and had to rip a bit out already.  Twice!  I get laughed at about this because I do not even get frustrated anymore.  It is just part and parcel of converting a sweater from knit to crochet and having something that you are willing to wear later.  Actually, it is part and parcel of my crocheting most of the time.

We are off to a large Maker's Fair this weekend.  Put on by Make magazine.  I am hoping for inspiration. If nothing else, I get two nights in a tent.  With tea.  No toast though.  I can be very simple.
