I was working on the rib/cable sweater during my daughters gym practices and I noticed this:
Argh!!! As if I wasn't tired enough of doing cables but to find one that I didn't cross correctly. Being the anal person that I am, I couldn't just let it be and I did not want to rip out 13 rows to get back to that one. I know I can fix this! When I got home, with a lot of help from Yarn Harlot and suggestions of alcohol consumption, I did this:
I've got the 20 stitches isolated and back on a DPN, now to cross them correctly:
Whew!
Halfway back up to where I was:
All done!
With some help from my notes (please ignore all the paint marks in the background - this is our kitchen table that the kids like to do their crafts on - someday we'll resand the tabletop and bring it back to it pretty self)
Now I must consume something cool and refreshing and go back to doing some boring stockinette for a few days!
Oh, as I was fixing this, I noticed I had dropped another stitch and had to restart again. More fun. I think that my knitting looks wonky on this sweater. Is this how knitting looks while doing cables? Hopefully after blocking, everything will look better.
Holy %$#@!! You are one dedicated lady. I'm impressed!!
