Bulky V-Neck Pullover

I guess like most knitters, I have several knitting projects going on at once. But, it makes me feel like I'm a VERY slow knitter!

I think part of the beauty of knitting is that you always know before you finish a project what your next 2 or 3 (or 8) projects will be! I get so excited just thinking about the next piece I'm going to cast on!!!

I've been working on this Knitting Pure & Simple pattern for a couple of months now. My goal is to have it finished by the end of the month so that maybe I'll get to wear it at least once this winter.

The yarn is Mission Falls Merino superwash & it feels so soft & warm. The yarn has suffered "ripping". Yes, ripping!!! It's a "neck down" sweater & I had knit down many inches below the v-neck & noticed a MISTAKE. Damn it all!!! It was one of those times where I had to take it & put it away for a couple weeks before I could look at it again.

Now, the band that goes around the bottom edge, which was knit with smaller needles than the rest of the sweater is curling up. I did bind off with larger needles though!!! Will I be able to get this to lay flat when I block the sweater???

The neck edge is also knit with the smaller needles & right where the arm seams meet the next edge it puckers.............I'm wondering!!! Do I need to do the dreaded dead again???

Shucks, maybe if I hold my mouth just right while I'm blocking it, it will work out......... you know like Cindy does when she's spinning.
