a nearly finished baby blanket. All the blanket needed was a finished edging. Something just didn't look right. A mistake somewhere. I pulled out one round, and then another. And then I found the one tiny mistake ten rounds further down. Now, I'm back to almost the beginning of the blanket, but first, have to untangle this Gordian Knot. I'm glad I don't need this gift to be ready until early December. Good thing I started early.
Ouch! Good luck with getting it done on time! Looks like a lot of work. You won a postcard on my blog, I put it on my blog yesterday, so can you please send me your snail-mail addy? Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of work, but needed to be ripped out
DeleteMy grandmother taught me how to crochet many years ago when I was a kid and she always used to make me unravel my work whenever I made a mistake. She would tell me, "You must do it right, or don't bother to do it at all." LOL
ReplyDeleteGrandma was right. :-D
DeleteI've done that. Pulling apart that is. And last summer I bought some to dye yarn and after I dyed it I got one of those knots. I still have that knot since I haven't yet found the patience to untangle it. I'll mentally send what I have for patience to you CJ so you get it done ASAP. Happy weekend. Crisp and beautiful it sounds. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThis was a lot of yarn (like a pound!) so I don't want to buy another skein. I am making progress but will take all the patience you can send. As to weather, it could be another 15 or 20 degrees warmer for me.
DeleteWell the good thing is you've got plenty of time to finish it for December!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the next attempt will be fine.
All the best Jan
Having lots of time left is a saving grace.
DeleteAt least all the knot are out!๐๐๐
ReplyDeleteKnot yet (-;
DeleteDid you know the Amish intentionally add a mistake into their quilts...because it shows that only God is perfect. You should have left it the way it was and gone with the Amish custom! ;)
ReplyDelete:-D I've heard that. The problem is the Amish ladies know where to put "the mistake" wehre it won't alter the pattern. Where I made the mistake, it got magnified a hundred times so the blanket didn't look right.
DeleteOh my, it looks like there's a lot to redo. I really like the colours with soft pink, yellow and mint green - so pretty ๐. Wishing you a Happy Sunday! J ๐
ReplyDeleteA lot to redo, but it will keep me off the streets :-D. I like the pastel, variegated yarn. I'm not sure if the baby will be a boy or girl so this will cover all bases.
DeleteDarn it!!! So sorry!! Love the colours of the yarn!
