- I admit that I am powerless over The Sweater.
- I believe that a Power greater than myself may be able to save it.
- Made a decision to put it away before it drives me crazy.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the pieces before putting it away.
- Admitted to God, to myself, and to another human being the exact nature of what it is to be a sock knitter trying to make a sweater.
- Am entirely ready to pay A Professional finish The Sweater.
- Will humbly ask said Professional to overlook the defects in the pieces.
- I was wrong and I admit it; next time I will attempt a sweater of single piece construction.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve my conscious contact with yarn and designers, praying for knowledge of their will for me and their power to influence my projects.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, I will try to carry this message to other knitters, and to practice these principles in my future projects.

Heh. I think I am a sock knitter who attempts a sweater on occasion, too. Sheepish Annie is another one; her solution is to refer to any sweater-in-progress as a dishcloth (with sleeves) to avoid attracting the wrath of The Sweater Goddess. One piece construction rocks; I just bought Knitting from the Top for that very reason.
All your protestions aside, I look forward to seeing photos of your sweater.
oh my dear ... I'd no idea the sweater had become a 12step ... the pictures of it are lovely ... perhaps ... perhaps it is just not quite ready to pull itself together into a whole ... this IS a doable project!!!
