There was nothing wrong with this sweater that made me want to rip it out. No glaring errors or mistakes in gauge, it was just boring. Then I remembered a sweater I bought a couple years ago. Kind of retro with a fair isle yoke, but it had a wide band of ribbing on the bottom that made it sorta cool. So with that as inspiration I kept knitting. I'm glad I did. After trying it on in progress several times, I think I'm going to wear this sweater a lot.
In other knitting news, I'm working on a cover for my heating pad. I know that probably sounds nuts, but I just bought a new one and I can't stand the icky cheap fabric that they use to make the covers.

I did a vest last year with a deep ribbing and it is my favorite knit ever! I wear it all the time.
I also think that a heating pad cover makes perfect sense. Practical, in a color you like and probably far softer. Go for it!!
Your sweater looks great! I like the wide band of ribbing, too. I agree with Annie - a heating pad cover makes a lot of sense. It probably makes more sense than me wanting to knit an iPod cover. :)
Oh, good save!!
No, knitting a new cover doesn't sound nuts. I have about 3 different commercial covers for my old ipod shuffle and I hate all of them. Had to knit a little necklace for it - and it's perfect.
The sweater looks really cute. Good thing you stuck with it.
One of my favorite sweaters is one with deep ribbing at the bottom and on the sleeves. A knit heating pad cover makes sense to me. it will probably be a lot more comfortable than the one that came with it.
Sometimes we know better than any pattern, don't we?
I like that sweater with a wide rib.
What a good idea to knit a cover for your heating pad. I have an older heating pad and the cover is missing. Perhaps, I'll knit one,too.
eeeeew, pretty colors!!!

I love the combination of the brown and aqua in the sweater.
