Just a tweak is all it takes sometimes to turn something blah into something that has some pizazz. I knitted a cardigan about a year ago from a magazine pattern. It fit nicely, the yarn felt okay, it looked okay, I just did not like it. Then I saw a photo of a cardigan that used a shawl pick to close it at the neckline. I got out my sweater and my wooden shawl pick and pulled the front across a little bit and stabbed it with the pick and, Voila, the whole sweater looked different. The shawl pick becomes the focus and the sweater is just the background. NOW I will enjoy a sweater that I spent hours and hours knitting!! (I am also now knitting the cardigan that sparked this idea)
