No sir, I don't like it.
Howdie..
So I'm pretty much done with my Honeymoon Cami (Thanks to Christy for digging me out of my hole) and I have to say.. I'm not pleased.
It looks pretty good when it's laying flat on something:
But when I wear it... it just doesn't look right.. I didn't do the stripes soon enough in the knitting.. and my bra likes to play peakaboo way too much for me to feel comfortable (Note the arrow.)
I was wearing a blue bra so it isn't so noticeable.. but in person you can definitely see it and I don't like it.. So I don't know if I'm gonna take it apart and try again with the neck line.. or if I'm gonna frog the whole thing and save the yarn for a Tivoli when she's done writing the pattern.. (I had secret conversation today with her about a 28" bust size.. I even helped her with some special measurements so hopefully she'll get it done soonish!)
So decisions decisions.. I just don't know.. but I ain't pleased so somethings gonna change.. I'm not knitting so things can fit me badly.. I can buy quazi-fitting clothes anywhere. (And I do!) But when I knit something I want it to fit me right or not at all.
So hmph. I'm willing to take any suggestions yall can throw my way.. I'll probably stew over this for a while.

I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
