I thought I had done a decent job picking up stitches this morning.
However, I soon discovered that I had dropped a stitch which had formed into a hole in the wrap. I contemplated trying to backtrack and pick up the stitch but decided against it. I was pretty sure that it would end up looking messy.
So, my dear Blab Rats, we are back to balls of yarn.
I guess "Stolen Moments" is an apt name for this project. Oh well. Try number two will look even more fabulous.
:( At least you have the patience to pick it back up again. If I mess up a knitting pattern I tend to just start the project over because I am just that bad at picking stiches back up.
ReplyDeleteI would just take a little piece of yarn and tie the hole back together--problem solved! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing this -- I saw the huge wooden needles demonstrated at Stitches Midwest and Stitches East -- what a hoot!
ReplyDeletePity that it is as easy to drop a stitch with monster needles as it is with others . . . but at least the empty spot is easier to see.
I all-too-frequently notice dropped stitches MANY rows after I make them. They wait and pop out as if to say BOO!
More like boo-hoo.
Keep up the good work,
Lee
