I have been making a pair of gloves (Nicholas's Gloves, a free pattern from Interweave knits online). I have restarted them 3 times. I'd gauge them, start the glove, realize the hand circumference is really ridiculously large, rip it out, change needles, restart.
I finally got a gauge that seemed to work and suddenly realized: once you start the cable pattern (I'd only do the ribbing before ripping it out), there is less give and the hand circumference decreases - considerably. D'oh! It fits me. I have small hands though, and I was making it for someone with larger hands. However, I refuse to rip it out again!
