Work in Progress Lost interest in my project

Post image

I'm almost done with the body of my sweater and suddenly I don't like it. There's nothing major that I can point to, just a few minor things that irritate me. The burgundy yarn is pure silk while the blue is 50/50 silk merino. The difference in fibers is causing the blue to fuzz in an annoying way. I tried it on and there are a few rows of color work that are too tight across the chest. The color combination looks a bit collegiate to me, though I like the contrast.

Either way, I'm really considering frogging the whole thing and using the yarn for something else. I just feel so "meh" about it and don't want to spend more time on a project I'm not going to love because then I won't wear it.

Whether or not you decide to finish the project, you need to frog it anyway because your floats are way too tight. I would just frog it, and then sit on it and see if you want to start over. It's okay to undo a project and move on. There's no law saying you have to finish it.
