Sleeves

Years ago I made up this jacket/shrug thing with an octagon as the back piece. I just winged it, like always, 'cos back then I figured, who else but me would ever wear it? I created it a bit before Ravelry existed, so I didn't have access to design info or anything like that. It was all my Inner Designer. Who occasionally gets things wrong.

I did the sleeves wrong. I calculated from the wrong angle. No wonder it always lay wonky. The angle I created is actually warping and twisting the bottom/back point that the front is connected to.

So. I need to erase the pencil lines I did yesterday, print out a few more pages of graph paper and start in again.

I don't think I really have the proper brains to be a designer!
