Do Over

Thanks for all your input yesterday regarding the zipper.  I took my Ribby Cardi to my knitting group and got some expert advice.  The consensus was "Do Over"

I'm really not happy with the zipper showing.  I know it's only a matter of a few millimeters, but it bothers me.

To clinch the deal, I looked at a favorite commercially made zippered cardigan I have and looked closely at the zipper.  Look!  Not a sign of the zipper showing on this cardigan.  

That really helped me make up my mind.  I'd rather rip out the zipper which I had only basted in place and start over.  It will take me another day of work, but in the long run, I know I'll be much happier for it.

I also weighed everyone's input - both online, on Ravelry, and amongst my knitting group friends and have decided that I will hand sew the zipper in place.  

So that's where I stand.  As you're reading this, please know that I'm up to my elbows in pinning and basting this zipper.  I have faith that it will turn out perfectly!
