I guess this is what it's like to do my best. |
I paused a bit and dug into my knitting with the spare needle and found the stripey part, but somehow I had knit right over it, covering it up and ruining the effect. Usually at this point I'd just shrug and keep going, but I had already prided myself on how I hadn't even made any mistakes yet (that I noticed...) and has shown such improvement.
Anyway, I yanked out a few rows and kept my place and re-threaded the thing on my needle and realized that I was forgetting to pull the yard forward and back before slip stitching, and it resulted in me covering up my hard work. But I undid my mistake! And I figured it out! And I fixed it!
This isn't typical for me. And now I'm even further than before.
Good save! I can be very ambivalent about fixing my mistakes, but sometimes it's worthwhile. And I guess there's some satisfaction in seeing a perfect finished piece. I can be so lazy sometimes though. :)
ReplyDeleteSince this post I've made *way* more mistakes and, save for one that I noticed after it was just too late for me to go back, I've been un-knitting and ripping rows and doing it right. Ppppt. I guess I'm getting some satisfaction, but mostly boooo-ring.
