At what point should one just give up? The beautiful buttery yellow sweater continues to drive me nuts! First it was errors on the pattern that I battled and a rude email from Cascade when I asked for errata on the pattern. Now?
Well, the skein I'm working on now gets thin every once and a while. At first I thought I was pulling the yarn so tight I was "removing" the elasticity. Nope, a flaw with the skein. So, now what?
It's the back, do I just hope and pray that I won't have any more issues with the yarn and pattern? Or do I get the sock pattern for this yarn and make 4 pairs of socks? Or a ton of infant caps? Or put it in the deep dark depths of my closet?
I have another inch or so before I bind the back off, and begin work on the front above the arm pits; then the neck and arms.
I am beginning to resent every stitch I make as it could be spent on something else. I had such high hopes for this cute little sweater!
If I put it aside, either "for-ever" or until I'm no longer upset with it, I could spend my knitting time on socks. I ordered sock blanks and am going to give dying it a try; then I HAVE to knit socks out of it!

So frustrating!
Think I'll go knit on my sock until I go to bed.

Eek! If the thinning of the yarn is clearly visible in a photo, then I must really be bad! How incredibly frustrating!
Looks to me like the skein is defective. I've never had a problem like that. Cascade should give you all NEW yarn in one matching dyelot so you can knit your sweater over.
