January 2, 2007--striped sweater

I actually loved this sweater for a long time and still have a hard time giving it up. The colors are fantastic (the photo doesn't really do them justice) but the sweater looks like a square on the bed and... looks like a square on me. actually, it pooches out around the sides which is just not an attractive thing for a sweater to do. I've tried to get rid of it before and just couldn't do it. But then every time I see it on the shelf and consider wearing it, I put it on and decide that the sides are too poochy. Time to let it go.
