That is the question.
Several people left comments on my Cross Coat Dilemma that they would frog. And, normally, I'd have beat you to it. There is a problem, however, with frogging intarsia. All those crosses? Yeah, they are all individuals sections of yarn. And I don't relish frogging and then figuring out what to do with all those sections of maybe 5 yards apiece (max).
I did like Julia's suggestion of turning it into cushions. That is a strong frontrunner.
My decision for right now is to knit one of the sleeves. Then I am going to seam the back and one front and sleeve up and get a better idea of the true fit of the garment. Yes, the probability is frumpy and dumpy, but who knows, maybe I'll end up with comfy and cute. I do the "knit half the sweater" trick all the time with sweaters I design, so I can get a fairly accurate idea of the drape. And, if the result is frumpy/dumpy, well, on to Plan B.
