I am plugging away at the Diagonal Jacket. I know it may be picky of me - especially now that I am over halfway done - the front is diagonally striped in multiple colors and stitch patterns but the back is completely plain. This leads me to suspect the sweater is suffering from multiple personality disorder. Is this weird? I have a sneaking suspicion that I will not get as far as inserting the zipper.......why go to all that trouble for a sweater that could potentially turn on me?
