Center Cable V-neck Sweater Finished but too small





Well, I'm bummed. This is the Center Cable V-neck Sweater by Treva Durham in November 2008 - January 2009's Cast on magazine. The sweater is finished, I like it and think I would wear it, but the armholes are too small. I had noticed in the directions that the arm scye shaping was a little different than usual, but forged on ahead. Usually for the arm scye you bind off 3 or so stitches on each side, then another two or so stitches each side, and then start decreasing. This pattern you only bind off 3 st each side and then start decreasing, making a narrower arm scye that evidently my "healthy" armpits can't squeeze into. Oh well, onto the Sideways Spencer!
