The Dolman Sweater??

OK, I just finished reading Dolman Rerouted at Mason-Dixon Knitting and now I’m rethinking the whole idea of knitting this sweater. It looks gorgeous in the picture in the magazine, but I guess I’m totally out of the loop. I didn’t realize that dolman was a style of sleeve that doesn’t have a seam, it’s an extension of the body. Seeing the picture on the MDK site of Pam wearing it makes me think UGH! I’m not so sure I want a sweater like that after all. I guess it’s a good thing I stumbled on the post before I started the sweater. Maybe there was a good reason I’ve had the yarn sitting in my stash for 3 years instead of being knit up into this sweater.

Now I’m off to find something else to knit with that yarn. :(

Update: I’ve browsed the projects at ravelry and saw one really gorgeous dolman sweater. So now I’m thinking it might not be so bad. I guess I might just have to knit it and see. If I don’t like it, then I’ll frog it and find another use for the yarn, but I won’t know till I do it. Maybe this can be a “next up” project. After I get some of my current WIPs done of course.
