Irritation!

Irritation thy name is mine! Or something like that. I am thoroughly irritated as I have just started my irregular rib pullover for DS and had only the sleeves and collar left to do. As I have never pieced together a sweater in this manner. I tried to guess while adjusting sizing for DS. The sweater in the picture is large and not fitted while my WIP fits tightly. I wonder if by some chance after finishing the sleeves and collar if the sweater will somehow stay stretched out. As for now the ribs all cling together tightly. Would blocking the sweater have any effect? AAAAARGH!!!! Though it has only been a week or so since I began this WIP I suppose I should not be so frustrated. I suppose I could frog the whole thing and start over. I have suspicions that my sleeve holes are not large enough. CAN ANYTHING ELSE GO WRONG?!!! Maybe I'll just finish it and should it not fit my cutest little one than I shall give it to the next best person who would be my nephew. Though, he would not look so cute in it because it is neither his style nor his demeanor. I hope it works out. I suppose this is one of those growing moments where I say I learned a lesson or something and I'm the better for it. That epiphany will hit in about 6 years when next I attempt to adjust a sweater size so drastically. Or, perhaps never!!!
