In up to my neck

You know how every now and then you have a brilliant idea, but lack some of the skills needed to execute it? Well, I have this sweater that my parents gave me for Christmas a few years ago that's a great color, a great shape, and a great weight... except that it has poufy, ruffled shoulders. Due to these, I've never actually worn it. I've put it on several times meaning to, but they just got in my mind's way. I'm not a fashion plate by any means (ask my sister...), but still, too much:

 

So, enter the brilliant idea:

 

I'll just rip back, reshape the sleeve cap, and sew it all back together.

I'll let you know how it goes. :-P
