MG: worth frogging?

i started the button bands for my twinkle hoodie yesterday, picking up and knitting a long stretch of ribbing with doubt eating away at me the whole while. three rows in, i put it aside out of indecision. i'm in that awkward space of wondering whether to knit on for a sweater that will be good enough or to start over for a better fit.

the hoodie is turning out rather fitted, when i wanted a more bloused look as in the book. it's not disastrous; it's wearable. but not the vision in my head. reasons to not frog: the sweater may bloom and stretch with wear, i won't have to buy a pricey new circular, i like the tight, nubby texture of the current fabric. reasons to frog: the current gauge eats up more yarn and i'm running low, the pockets are less tall than i'd like, the hood more shallow, it took only two days to knit the body, and it's just... you know... not quite what i had in mind.

Kitty Kitty advised me to finish the sweater, block it to the desired size, and wear it at least once before i decide... i don't know... i think it's good advice and would definitely help. but i'm also thinking i'm not a hard blocker. other than lace, i like my knits to be in a relatively relaxed and elastic state. and i'd have to wrangle it to the correct size every time i wash. and all the little sizing problems would trouble my sense of security when i wear it...

i think i've decided to frog.
