The long way

I am almost finished with the first front piece and I am miffed.

I need to pull it back and redo.  Le sigh.

I did a ratio of neckline increases that doesn't work.  I debated doing a shawl style collars but that is not what I had in mind for this sweater.  Back to the drawing board.  I have also realized that I don't really want a v neck either.  I want a nice crew neck.  A workman type crew neck.  Something simple to show off a good work sock edging with a nice clean red stripe.  

So if everyone else is going forward with their knitting, great.  I am too but I am taking the long way around to get there.
