Space Chick Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 56 rows into my jumper front with a cable feature and disaster struck! Don't know how! But I lost a stitch and had accidentally purled when I should have knitted Now unravelled and I'm trying to pluck up the courage to cast on again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Ah I totally sympathise with you! A year on I'm still looking for motivation to restart the yoke of a cardigan:( Good luck getting going again:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I sympathise. I have unpicked 15 rows of a baby blanket today - my fault, didn't read the pattern properly. It's worth persevering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 At least you spotted the error early on......I have a finished jumper which has a mistake in it that I didn't spot until I put it on and it's so obvious...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I think I'm going to cast back on today. I've got a cold and I've lost my voice, so can't see me doing much else today to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 That sounds like a good plan I hate it when you have to undo things. Hope you feel better soon. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks Chrissie To be honest, I don't feel that "ill" I just feel tired and my throat hurts a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Knitting is perfect for when you feel miserable. Can sit and veg but still feel productive! I got the Elizabeth Zimmerman books for Christmas. She has some great tips for dealing with errors, although I had to put the book down in shock when she talks about cutting into knitting willy nilly!! Will have another look when I'm feeling more adventurous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Have done a decent amount Although I told hubby (via instant messaging as have no voice! ) that if my stitch marker was on my knee he was not under any circumstances to talk to me as that was the complicated bit. What did he just do? Yeah you've guessed it prattled on when it was on my knee, whilst I furiously tap my knee looking daggers at him!! I so nearly messed up again. If I had, he'd have been in soooooooo much trouble I've put my knitting away now for today and he's poured himself another glass of wine, so I anticipate further verbal outbursts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
