rip it---rip it

!@#$%... what else could one say when you have to rip out 27 @#$%^&^ rows of knitting that you have struggled to figure out... and it is not a hard pattern, very simple, but lots of stitches (over 300)..i restarted it again last night and was one stitch out.. so ripped it out again... Larry told me to just leave the original mistake, but it was a very GLARING mistake, and no could miss it..he throws out scroll saw work if there is one tiny mistake that no one but him can see...I have 6 weeks to finish this, so i do have lots of time... and i will use the stitch markers from the beginning this time, and hopefully i won't make any more mistakes... i read the Yarn harlot http://www.blogger.com/Yarn%20Harlot, and she had the same problem, but it was over a week of mistakes..which i thought was really funny, until it happens to me..

Poor Silk! "It's always funny until someone loses an eye." - old family saying. Isn't that how we met in the first place, with a misbehaving shawl?

It seems everyone is ripping back shawls these days . . . Gail was cussing hers, the Harlot had me in tears from laughter & now you??? Time for socks . . .
