I got this yarn about two years ago when a friend and I were starting sweaters. She moved shortly thereafter and I ended up frogging the whole thing because my gauge was way off. This poor yarn has been just sitting around for a while.
I got a different pattern on Ravelry for a sweater, this time it's a top down raglan.
I started it two times, the second time I got in about 40 rows and saw this huge gaping hole where I dropped a stitch. Ugg. I tried to fix it but I guess I needed some help and in my frustration, I frogged it all again.
I'm in about 20 rows in now. It's looking pretty good and I'm kind of glad I started again because this time I really have the cables down. Now, I just need to keep going and finish this! I'm determined. And I decided if I make a mistake, I'm either going to just leave it if it's a small mess up or get help from a friend before I pull it all out again!
this reminds me all too much of a frogged shalom cardigan of mine- 3 skeins of frogging later (and hours and hours and hours of stitches), i'm back at it again. with a few mistakes that i've convinced myself to think of as character :) here's to our sweaters turning into finished masterpieces!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty pattern, Kyndale. Good luck giving it a second go!
