Help please!! Disaster....
I hope someone can help me
I have finally finished knitting the Sublime Big Knotty Jacket (it has taken me since August), and yesterday I sewed it together and it is a DISASTER!!!
The instructions were a bit vague, and I wasn’t sure where to sew the shoulders onto, so did it so that the pattern followed over the top from the back, if that makes sense. The front at the shoulders is far too shallow now it is made up, and the sleeves feel as though they are twisted when I tried it on, with a bulge under the arms…
Had I known I was going to have to unpick the thing, I would have used contrasting wool to make up with, as I can’t see the sewn wool to unpick it

Help!!! Has anyone made this jacket? Where do the shoulder panels go? And how the devil do I unpick it all???
