Vivian, my green beast of a sweater, is quickly growing two arms. I love how fast the arms knit up in bulky yarn. (I'm using Knitpick Wool of the Andes Bulky - Love it.)Despite how fast of a knit this arms are. I really don't have as much to show as I would like. Why, you ask? Because I mutilated the left sleeve about 80 rows in. Yeah, I know ... 80 rows. Not paying close attention, I didn't realize that I was creating a seam of 2 knits and 2 purls where my needles met. Which is definitely NOT seed stitch. So I pulled out a whole needle and reknit it. I feel like a knitting champion!

I'm impressed with your fixing skills - I would have had to reknit the whole thing, not just one needle!
ReplyDeleteBummer! I hate when you realize you made a mistake and need to frog it...
ReplyDeleteThe sleeves look very nice though :)
oh man, that picture makes me a little twitchy... good on you for your fixing skills!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I have no idea what's going on in that 2nd picture, but I'm in awe of your mad fixin' skillz! Thanks again for knitting this before me -- it makes me feel a little better that it can be done. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sleeves do look nice! I like the cables and is the other seed stitch?
ReplyDeleteJust one needle ripped out? Awesome! I'd have frogged and started again. You ARE a knitting champion!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. I would have cried. And frogged the whole thing. And cried more as I reknit for scratch.
ReplyDeleteGo you!
Hail knitting queen! I love that you fixed the sleeve. I have fixed a few stitches but never that many.
ReplyDeleteYou are a knitting ninja! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThat second picture is amazing. I did something similar with a cable pattern but certainly nowhere near 80 rows worth. Looking forward to seeing the completed project!
ReplyDeleteknitting champion indeed! Good work on the fixing, the sleeves are looking great
ReplyDeleteThat is once brave thing you did. If it was me, I would've frogged the whole thing and re knit it. Go you!
