I have a scarf that is supposed to be completed before Friday so I can gift it...that's not happening. I have found that even a one row lace pattern has gotten the better of me. I dropped a stitch early on and couldn't fix it so I tore back the beginning and started over. At that point I had four inches knitted.
Now I have 29 inches which is about the halfway point and I have dropped another stitch. It's right in a YO (Yarn Over) and I have tried a few different ways to fix it and pick it up...and it's not happening. I went a couple of rows beyond just to see if what I did fixed it...but it didn't. Argh! This WIP is officially on hold until I can go in to see the Knit Doctor at my yarn shop. I sure hope KellyJ can work her magic because I don't want to gift this scarf with this in it. I thought about what it would look like once blocked and...it would be bad. Argh!
In the meantime...I put this away where I won't mess it up anymore and have cast on a new project. Yes, I know my limits.

Ugh, that's a real shame, sorry! I am not so good with knitting lace, because it will go wrong somewhere and I am hopeless at fixing it! Hope the Knit Doctor can help soon ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain!! I think you are right to put it away and wait for help. I had almost 6 inches knitted and tore out my whole project. It is so frustrating. But lace is so pretty...You almost cannot keep yourself from trying it. I hope you can get it straightened out!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it will be a super scraf. Fingers crossed you can fix it
ReplyDeleteYou did the right thing. It will be better soon... or at least better behaved. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the knit doctor can fix what ails your scarf at the moment! Time out is good ... and so are stitch markers and lifelines. :)
