Craft Enabled, Domestically Disabled: In which I dearly hope I can finish this sweater before, oh, April.

I'm finding various online "design your own figure"-type sites and trying to design figures that look as close to me as possible for a self-portrait collage project. This is surprisingly tricky when one (a) wears glasses, which aren't always offered, and (b) normally has blonde/brown hair and currently dyes it vaguely-reddish/blonde. What hair color to pick?

In which I dearly hope I can finish this sweater before, oh, April.

I had to start over the top pattern completely.

I had finished the first row of flowers and was about halfway through the second when I noticed it: the sweater was suspiciously bumpy where the pattern wasn't. I thought I had left the strings in between loose enough for this not to be a problem. Evidently not.

I tried on the sweater. Nope, didn't look any better on. In addition to that, the second row of flowers just looked...crowded.

So, I had to yank it all out Monday. Took a damned long time to untangle 4 balls of yarn.

Next time I redo it, I'm only putting one row of flowers, and the rest is purple.
