Apparently, I'm in the minority, but if you really like the sweater (and it is very pretty), then just take out what's wonky and redo. Yes, it's a pain, but part of knitting, in my opinion. Of course, I'm sort of partial to Norah Gaughan designs. Sometimes you mess up (believe me, I’ve done it many a time:-).

I vote to start the Tangled Yoke cardi, cuz I want to make one too but can't right now! Ugh, I’ve heard that can happen (gauge changing with two different needles of the same size).

It stuns and amazes me how much gauge can change from weekday to weekend, much less at different times of the school year. p.s. I really like your orange ogee.

They lie to your face and behind your back. Especially the ones that say they're the same size but are made by different manufacturers. Evil, aren't they? It’s a sad fact that needles lie.

So I can live vicariously through you--I can't do it myself because I've got a new-prep advanced class this semester. Hurray! But it's very time-consuming, and I don't have the brains for anything more complicated than socks. #4.

Then, to give yourself a break from Ogee (and thus retain sanity for having to frog nearly half a sweater), and start on the Tangled Yoke cardigan (or the Prov Waistcoat, if you prefer). And Ogee will go back into the Future Knits rotation!

My vote is that your post-summer-vacation gauge is just radically more relaxed than your end-of-school-year gauge. If the color seems too bright to you anyway, you may as well start something new. It is a bummer, though. Wow, that is a mystery! My vote is that your post-summer-vacation gauge is just radically more relaxed than your end-of-school-year gauge.
