I wish I could take this title, but the truth is, I am more likely to take the title of Queen of Lack of Time. But I think most of us hold that title, don’t we?
The pictures of the CPH will be on hold indefinitely until I find the free time (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA s,.zlkg,.agwioejkrafs;dojdc … Sorry, I fell out of my chair from laughing at the thought that I might actually find some free time. Ahem.) But I can tell you this. I was so proud of myself for not making any discernable royal fuck ups on this sweater. Then I realized the other night that not only had I purled where I should have knitted in the ribbing in one spot on the sleeve I started on the way back from Vegas, but I also forgot to change needles after finishing the ribbed cuff. Luckily, I was only into the second repeat of the cable pattern, but still.
Damn.
Remind me not to get smug about my knitting.
I ripped back and changed the needle size and started knitting the pattern again but didn’t get very far. (Read: less than 1/2 way through the first cable pattern repeat.) That was 2 nights ago. I just realized this morning that I forgot to fix that one stitch that is out of line in the ribbing. Guess what I’m doing tonight?
*sigh*
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a perfectionist.
At least you noticed the mistakes BEFORE you bound off!! I am just so impressed and in awe of you sweater knitters!!!!! Maybe one of these days…………..
You, the queen of slackage? I haven’t even posted on my blog in over a week–and that’s because I haven’t taken any pictures of the stuff I wanted to post about. (Though, for the record, I’ve been busy ripping a repeat of Icarus. It is HARD to put in a lifeline after-the-fact. I think my lifeline covered about 6 rows altogether.)
“Slackage” is now my new favorite word.
(I’ve been saying “gusto” in every sentence for the last two weeks. But “gusto” is so two weeks ago. “Slackage” is where it’s at!)
Just drop it down and fix it. Can you do that, or would it be too difficult with the cable pattern?
At least you weren’t knitting a bodice. Then you would be a bodice ripper. That would be different, to say the least, not that there is anything wrong with that.
I did the same stupid effing thing. I cast the fronts on THREE times without switching to the smaller needles to do so. /facepalm
