 Sigh.   It took me until now to spot the awryage.   (Not the OO next to each other, that's correct.   The vertical column is in the wrong place.)

Oh no! Was the OO column supposed to be symmetric, or is the one right of it too narrow?

(This looks suspiciously like a fredrikegerman sweater. Is it?)

[elbren]

adds visual interest! clearly constant-width columns were less appealing!

(It's a marleigh sweater).

Spent all night ripping out about a dozen stitches and putting them back in. (At least it was the same number of black and white, so no tension trouble). Victory!



It's about to segue into the interesting part: (this one is from ebay)

so you can see that trying to keep the panels different widths wouldn't work after this point. :)

Oh wow! Did you unwork the columns and rework them, rather than frogging the whole thing? That's ... wow.

[firstfrost]

Yeah, I only unworked the set of stitches that was wrong, and redid them. Only about a dozen. If I could frog the whole thing and reknit in a day, I would be much less annoyed by doing it wrong! :)

Dale of Norway (yarn/sweater company) has made sweaters for the Norwegian ski team every winter Olympics, and this one (Lillehammer) is the most over-the-top. :)

About a dozen ... columns of stitches, not individual stitches? That still sounds like a pain with the colorwork.

Heh. That's an adorable and appropriate promotion. Does the ski team wear them competing, or are they off-the-slopes hanging-out gear?

And yes, that's a very busy sweater. Neat!

This is, in fact, an amazing pattern.
