I just stumbled upon your blog…I think I know what’s wrong with your sweater!

It’s your previous post…the one about how perfect the Serpentine…and how PERFECT the pattern was…no changes…

I think you jinxed yourself!!

Seriously, I love the drawing and I hope you find a way around the current dead end!

Wait – hats are NOT supposed to be booby-esque with nipples?!?!?! {{slinks off, embarassedly}}

Still, purty stitch. Perhaps this is ssssssssssssssserpintina’s revenge?

I once saw a red-breasted nippled hatboob on one of my many expeditions to the Amazonian rain forest in the 20′s. It was a lot larger than I thought it would be.

Well, however much lying went on – the hat and scarf look great. And the sweater is going to be beautiful – it’s beautiful already, but I’m sure you’ll like it better when it fits you the way you want.

Okay, so maybe it’s cursed. Burn it. It will smell great, I promise. What? Are you know going to accuse me of being a lying liar who lies? But okay, so the yarn sucks. Do not tell me you don’t have like 500 pounds of other yarn you can use to make what looks like a totally fly top, I want to wear that top you designed, so punish that yarn (you might be surprised at how much it likes it and decides to behave after that) or get some other but you have got to do that pattern. Look at other raglan patterns in your gauge to see if they’re doing it generally the same way. Sometimes I have to fudge the raglan thing, too.

Oh boy, rough day, huh? The hatboob is hysterical, even if it is at your expense. Hope the curses are lifted soon. The orange sweater is looking good, though – can you fix the fit?

The scarf may be a liar, but it sure is pretty!

I have the same issue with lying gauge swatches and have definitely done the be-nippled hatboob thing…..take solace in the fact that you are not alone!

That’s a shame. I was really looking forward to taking that sweater pattern when you were done :)

But I’m really liking the stich pattern of that hat/scarf set.

Ahahahaha, GOOGLY EYES! loveit.

You know… you might just want to try and trade that cursed yarn for some sweetass yarn on Ravelry. I mean, don’t advertise it as cursed… or maybe do, so freaky people will be interested in it. Freaky people with freaky awesome yarn that you could make this sweater out of. Just a suggestion. :)
