I can totally see (and relate) to why you want to make that pattern the best you can...and fix whatever faults you see in it. And while I'm sure I'd do the same thing (as you probably well know), standing from a distance I do sort of agree with Ruth on this one. Mostly because it just sounds like it's becoming more of a chore than something you really want to do. Maybe letting go and moving on to something that offers you more excitement would take a little bit of pressure off? Apparently I can give advice I, myself, wouldn't take! ;) But then, I have letting go issues! In the end, do whatever you feel most comfortable with...I'll be knitting it either way! :) A weekend in the woods. Sigh. So envious, but I'm so glad you guys are getting out and getting recharged. I hope you come back with pictures! I knew what your decision was well before I got to the end!

I can't wait till you get the pattern into ravelry. it's on my list for a long time and heaven thanks I have a printout of the old magknits... just in case... ;) but if you are about to renew it, I'll happily wait for your alterations and make a brand-new version of it! ^-^ ah!

Just my two cents. I don't think we gain much from revisiting the could-have-been-better aspects of old projects!
