Rip it! That yarn is too gorgeous to waste. Have you looked at the Black Water Abbey site for patterns? The Marilyn cardigan, by Beth Brown-Reinsel, is gorgeous. .-= Lorette´s last blog ..Another WIP =-.

Why are you even asking? Reach for the niddy noddy and start skeining the sweater back to yarn. You had the fun of knitting it once, you learned from it and you can get to do it all again.

I say rip it. Life is to short to wear knits you're not happy with. .-= Kristyn´s last blog ..Thankful Thursday #1 of 2010 =-.

I have a sweater I want/need to reclaim as well. It’s also a seamless yoked sweater, so it should be relatively easy to do, but I’m still afraid to do it! At this point, though, I suppose there’s nothing to be afraid of – even if I mangle it and destroy the yarn in the process, it’s not like I’m out anything. I’m already not using either the yarn of the sweater…

Why not check Janet Szabo’s patterns for cables?

What about using the extra yarn to knit the sleeve cuff again and longer? Since you did them top down, it’d be easy… And you could do some creative sewing along the seams?? Cut and resew the side seams? But if you cut, it wouldn’t be easy to rip anymore. Good luck, it IS beautiful yarn, and yes you should be happy with the sweater.
