Where’s the nearest wall?

I feel like pounding my head against a wall.  Gently, but still a pounding.

I’ve been working on a sweater design for weeks.  Knitting, taking notes, fitting, and re-knitting.  I have this armpit pucker problem I don’t seem to be able to eliminate.  I have two choices.  Completely re-design the sleeves or completely redesign the sweater. 

I’m leaning toward the second option.  I made some choices early on that aren’t turning out as I had hoped.  I think it may be time to scrap the project and use what can be saved for version two. 

On top of all of that, the yarn is loosing color when it’s blocked (!) and it now has not so subtle varigation that is not very flattering to my figure.

I don’t know what to do.  I’ve put the sweater in time out for the rest of the day.
