sweater gone

I am knitting this sweater in the round but swatched flat... so after about 2 inches I noticed that my guage was more like 3.5 st per inch rather than the 4 it was supposed to be. The sweater has been frogged. I'm going to switch to size 8 needles and try again tomorrow. I have had real bad luck lately starting projects. I seem to start everything half a dozen times before I like it. The last 2 scarves I started were that way. So wish me luck with the sweater this time :-)
