I haven't felt like I was up to sewing the shoulders and pick up the button band stitches.
But I felt like I could last night.
And then I promptly sewed both fronts on backwards.
I didn't discover it until I had started picking up stitches on the second front and I had this armhole on the front neckline.....
Ripping out stitches for the shoulders was a LOT of fun!
But I did it and seamed it again and picked up the stitches on the front bands again
and now I can get going on this sweater finish!!!!
I did give myself a bit of a reward...
I cast on this new pair of fingerless mitts because I was intrigued with the construction!
It is brilliant.
I had planned on dyeing the yarn first as it is a skein of the Bare Hare by KnitPicks;
it is so delicious in my hands while knitting!
But I didn't want to wait to cast on so they will get a kettle dye when I am finished!
I decided to go with an easier border arrangement for the leftover scraps from the Quilt of Valor.
I just might be able to sew this together in a few days now!
How frustrating to be on the last front section before you noticed the error: I'm glad you persevered.
ReplyDeleteMartina Behm has delightful patterns.
Argh .... some days it doesn't pay to pick up the needles! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose new mitts are really cute. Sounds like you will be using them as soon as they are finished to. Brrrrrrrrr... Keep warm and happy knitting.
Oh NO! That's what i fear when i am finishing garments. I so dread the thought that I am going to have to undo it. Im so sorry!!
ReplyDeleteYour mitts are darling. Keep telling us if the pattern in perfect and if it is I may have to SAVE it.
I have done that very thing with the fronts. It is not pleasant. Those mitts are really interesting. I can't wait to see them done. I like the idea of knitting first and dyeing later. White is so much easier on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I might have trashed the whole project. Those mitts look so interesting...let us know!!
ReplyDelete...pounding head against wall...😖 Glad you conquered — and moved on to some well-behaved things!
ReplyDeleteOh - those mitts are interesting!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I have done the same thing. Or how about making to right fronts instead of a left, I have been there too!
