The sweater is already ripped back and is currently existing as a rectangle and two tubes. I'm trying to get it back together as quickly as I can so that I don't run out of steam. Thanks everybody!

So, so much. I respect your resolve enormously to rip out and re-do... I'm not sure I'd have that resolve, but you'll be a lot happier if it's the right length. How much do I love that orange zipper?

I noticed a long time ago that in many cases, their put-ups are less than their competitors - LB will have a 40 gram ball, same yarn by someone else will be 50 grams. Ten grams might not seem like a lot, but if you're talking sweater quantities, that 20% cut in ball size can add up. :P I'm not particularly surprised about how Lion Brand is more expensive than some other brands.
