I was knitting merrily along and then I noticed this:
This is not part of the pattern! It happened when I dropped a stitch and it went unnoticed. And so, I put in a lifeline because it was too far down to tink and needed to be ripped out.
After I got to the lifeline and got all those live stitches back on the needles I saw another error. *sigh* Can you guess how far down this one was? Far enough that I ripped the whole thing out and started over. I am considered this my gauge swatch.
At least I now know the 8 row repeat. Look on the bright side!

OH, I hate when that happens. But you have the repeat down now so it will go much faster this time.
ReplyDeleteBeen there. . .and feel your frustration.
ReplyDeleteThankfully yarn is forgiving! Your yarn is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, too, and it's maddening. But, you'll be happier in the end. (Ask me how I know! ;>)
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about working with yarn, but I probably would have left it. Most people probably wouldn't notice.
ReplyDeleteOhhh
ReplyDelete😬. I saw reference to using a lifeline for the first time just the other day. Can you explain it to me? XO
ReplyDeleteI am not coordinated enough to knit. I have tried. Can you tell me if you have tried any of the knitting looms and if they are easy as they say and actually work. thanks Mburnette912@bellsouth.net
