Michelle ma belle, sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,

Tres bien ensemble

Kinda, Sorta, Maybe, Not Really???

I spent the entirety of last night seaming and sewing-on buttons. In the process, I noticed a pretty major pattern mistake in my double seed stitch. SHIT. No, biggie, it's an asymmetrical cardigan, and the error is near the top of the small panel. I can totally RIP and re-knit. In fact, I could probably get the whole process completed before the weekend. 

Lightbulb! Before I slash my seams, let's see how this thing looks.

 Huh.... I anticipated a drapey, cape-like cardigan... hence the name. But HERS is definitely a sweater; not a... dress??? I knit all my pieces to the correct gauge and dimensions.  Am I really a foot (more) shorter than the model?
Picture
Hmmm...maybe I don't hate it... I do kinda feel like I'm walking around in a baby llama blanket. 
Picture
This is better than sweatpants. Happenstance? Can I pull this off? I tend to dress pretty, well... boring. 
Picture
It is really, really cozy... 
Picture
Can we take a minute to marvel at those vintage buttons.... 1930's deco... 

I don't know what to do. Mike... no help.

It looks like a big, cozy hug! I think you look adorable in it. It's a keeper.

What happens when you lift your arms? It does look cozy.

It's roomy enough through the sides that it doesn't raise when I lift my arms; the opening kinda slide up to my elbows. Though, I can totally make myself look like a flying squirrel if I laterally lift both my arms. :-)

I would keep it the way it is. I personally love the long sweater look with leggings and jeans.

But you are a HOTT flying squirrel. I think that you need to start a new trend! I am totally diggin it. However, I would NEVER get to wear it down here.

Before I even read what you wrote I thought "Oh, I like that sweater. I should make that!" Keep it! I think it's very stylish and looks super comfy.

Same with Paula, I saw pics first and thought Oooh how cute! And then read that it came out long. I love it how you're wearing it in the pictures, it's awesome. I'd go ahead and fix and keep.
