Fibre Art

It’s not the first time i made this mistake. The holes in the patterned rows are supposed to alternate left-right-left-right. I have one hole on top of another on the patterned row i just finished. Aaarrrggghhhh…. You can compare that to the one on the right which i’ve just corrected on-site with the crochet needle. Thank god i know how to correct this. If not i’ll have to undo two rows of about 170 stitches each. That’s gonna take ages. Knitting is fast. Undoing is a very time consuming affair.

I’ve unraveled the completed pouch, lol. How “me”. This will occur throughtout this blog. Some people dont have the “heart” to undo their knitting, but i do this very often. And most of the time without hesitation. It’s only a couple of hours work. Whatever end result that i dont like, it’ll go back onto the ball of yarn. I’d rather have something that i’m truly satisfied with than having to “live” with something of “sub-standard”. I’m a perfectionist as far as my handcraft goes.

I thought that i can finish up with a 1 x1 ribbing after i’ve joined the sides together, but i cant seem to “pick up” the stitches onto my 3mm needles as they created a thick top at the opening. So, i’ll just reknit the whole thing again. And no, the yarn is just as gorgoeus. No harm done. I only use high quality yarn that can be reknit over and over again despite numerous undo-ings, lol. Let me see if i have the time to knit this in peace without interruption or not today. I may be able to complete it.
