Felt or Frog? Sweater came out too big :(
I have truly learned the power of blocking today. My Upstream Sweater by Rows Knitware was looking so perfect every time I tried on during the knitting process but I think due to the texture of the knit, it grew MASSIVELY after blocking. In a perfect world, I’d like the whole sweater to be smaller. Does anyone have experience or advice on intentionally shrinking a sweater? I don’t want to lose any of the beautiful texture and I don’t want to ruin the piece. I’m also considering just frogging the sleeves to a proper length and living with the bat wings, loose collar, and bagginess of the body?? Ugh I don’t know what to do!!
First 2 pics of post-blocking. The rest are how perfect it was during knitting 😩
