Good Monday to all our creative community!!! I hope this week has been productive for you and that you are doing well!
Several months passed before I returned to my lilac jacket again. Yes, for me this project is a real challenge. This tests my strength🥴 😁
I have already unraveled the sleeves almost halfway several times. But this time I had to unravel the top of the sweater. It beat me and I gave up for these few months. The fact is that the openwork pattern I chose is of course very beautiful, but not at all suitable for the shoulders.
The canvas does not lie neatly on the shoulders and bulges very unattractively.
For quite a long time I couldn’t bring myself to redo this section of the canvas and the jacket just lay there before my eyes. I deliberately put it so that I could see it every day in the hope that I would be motivated to work. Unfortunately no! 😩It didn't work. 🥴
And then one day I was finally able to pick up my knitting and begin to unravel the top of the fabric of the back of the sweater and the two parts of the front. 😭😭😭
I decided to replace the openwork pattern with a simple pattern that I used for the bottom of the sweater.
Of course, this was very inferior to the previous option. Compare them!
I finally finished redoing the top of the sweater. In this version, the canvas on the shoulders lies much neater.
It is no longer bristling with ugly folds.
So I can praise myself: I did it! I unraveled the bad part of the project canvas and fixed everything right!
Only now can I return to the sleeves of this sweater.
From this failure of mine with the project, I learned a lesson for myself: not every beautiful pattern is suitable for the purpose I would like! You need to be prepared for the fact that the original idea will not work. To be honest, this lesson was hard for me: it took me almost six months. 😟

Take care of yourself and be healthy!!!
I am so glad you figured out how to solve that problem! The sweater pattern is certainly beautiful, and it looks so much better with the new shoulders you invented.
Thank you very much! I really hope that this time I can finish the project
