What's a Gal to Do??

I've panicked, I've grieved, I've agonized, I've tossed and turned, and even, for a moment, I've laughed. I've considered and reconsidered all of my options for the stunning and elegant, yet somewhat too form-fitting, Sahara and so far this is what I've come up with:

1. Frogging (thus the panic).
2. Blocking like crazy.
   
3. Dieting and/or exercising (that would be the laughing part).
   
4. Giving up and returning the unused balls of expensive yarn.
   
5. Seeking out some clarity on the term "negative ease" and be aware of its true nature in the future.
   
6. Finishing the gorgeous sweater and gifting it to a dear friend of mine who would look stunning and thoroughly enjoy it (I like this one).
   
7. Knit myself a summery one in a more casual yarn like Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (from stash!) which actually matches gauge and is much more suited to my lifestyle and our weather.

The only actual decisions I've made...

1. Make no decision at all for at least a couple of weeks.
   
2. Start getting low-fat milk in my Starbuck's Iced Mochas.

In the meanwhile, I finally (and I do mean finally since this was knit last May) weaved in the ends to my Starsky and wore it to Park Day today where it kept me amazingly warm in our crisp 54 degree weather. (Would you believe it was 84 degrees two days ago! Ugh!) I even started the belt... in Jamba Juice.




So I can finish the belt, work on my socks and maybe start a scarf... like Backyard Leaves or Lady Eleanor as there shouldn't be any fit issues with these.

And finally, after some careful contemplation, most likely initiated by the agony of defeat, I have most reasonably decided to reconsider my stance on sock yarn as stash and accept the terms as outlined in the original Knit from Your Stash guidelines (see button).
I find my change in position here most acceptable because, well, buying new sock yarn makes me happy! (I was wearing a turquoise t-shirt today :)
