. . .thinking maybe this will block out . . . but knowing it won't. . .
1. Sleeve #1: when I changed from a 9" circular needle to 2 needles (magic loop) my gauge for some unknown reason got a lot smaller
so I ripped it back:
I now have one finished sleeve!
2. Collar: I picked up too many stitches and started the short rows too low:
so rip went the collar:
3. The bottom 4" of the body: I increased too frequently after the waist shaping so I had this funny pleat that made the sweater flare out weird:
so I ripped back to just below the waist detail which was painful because I'd already sewn down the hem:
Hopefully I can finish this sweater without anymore frogging!!

Oh dear I hate it when I feel like I am frogging everything, hopefully this will be the end of frogging for you and only smooth sailing/knitting ahead!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are not giving up. I would have chucked the cardigan against the wall already. Yuor determination will mean this one is gonna be FABULOUS in the end
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kim. Your persistence will result in a gorgeous sweater. I love how you added the slip stitch detail and hem to the sleeve. I wish that I had modified my Vodka Gimlet like that.
