I've been a good little worker bee during this project.  I've charted every variation of the stitch as I need to use it.  This is huge for me, because I usually just dive in and then try to reverse engineer what I did once I find something that works.  This time I'm doing a little more pre-planning than I usually do and it's totally paying off.

The weird thing is, when I do anything other than crafts, I *always*  pre-plan, strategize,  and research everything.  Maybe I don't with crafts to maintain the *fun* of creating.  But, let me tell you, it's still fun to crochet this sweater with the charts pre-written.  Doubleplusfun.
