Almost an FO: Shrug

So… technically finished the shrug…

But…. I’m not thrilled with the fit. The shrug is one-sized. I’m plus-sized. I knew it probably wouldn’t fit as loose as it does in the pattern. And I’m fine with that.

What I don’t love is the ribbing around the body opening.

As written, it ends up stretched out on my torso. It’s not terrible – I just don’t love it. There’s is a solution though. Rip out all that ribbing, and redo it – with a higher stitch count.

Which is what I’m going to do. Just maybe not right away. Part of me is really aching to cast on for a new pair of sock. Especially since I found a hole in my favourite pair of Felicis last week!

So… should I rip and reknit right away, or start a sock and save the ripping for another day?
