So as I am merrily knitting along, I felt the fabric was too loose and floppy. Even though I thought I had gauge. I ran into a roadblock at the neck; Lavold's directions assume the knitter has more experience than I.
I stopped knitting to wait until I could get to my LYS for advice. I was able to go Monday and found out what to do at the neck. But I was informed that my gauge was too big. (AHA!! That's why the fabric was so loosey goosey.)
We talked about frogging down to the pattern, but when I got home, I decided to start the entire bit on smaller needles. Here we are right now:
I hope to have more to post soon. This is a learning experience.......
Don't you just love the learning curve that knitting provides ;)
ReplyDeleteOh. No.
ReplyDeleteI'll have a glass of wine for ya.
Ouch. Been there. Done that. Not fun. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'll do everything I can to keep from ripping, but sometimes there's just no helping it, and I've never been sorry that I did.
