I will definitely omit the ribbing at the bottom, but don't know yet if I will leave the curled stockinette or go back to pick up the stitches and create a straight hem (as I did on Sylvia's second Wallaby. Stay tuned! @JD: I suspect that frogging laceweight alpaca is much more painful than frogging worsted wood. :)

I'm sorry about the frogging and knitting, it's the story of my life these days, too (except I am frogging laceweight alpaca)... I still remember the Wallaby you knit for S and how lovely I thought the rolled bottom hem was. Looking forward to seeing your FO! Oh!

At least I don't have to reknit the body of the sweater! Ned Flanders (on the left) agrees. When you push the button on his back he says, "Always room for one more Flanders!" but that's just code for "Knit it right, or else you'll never want to wear it and then where will you be?"
