But I counter that with lovely yarn sitting in a cupboard because I don't like the item or I notice the mistakes on it. <br />I'd rather have that time as a learning experience and the yarn full of potential again. bekswhoknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380576974520403198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-85078731022120354532013-07-18T11:07:57.098+01:002013-07-18T11:07:57.098+01:00The arn is really pretty, it would be a pitty not ...The arn is really pretty, it would be a pitty not to frog the lace section and start all over. :-)Babajezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538344149217844113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-21777728011711788582013-07-17T16:05:30.706+01:002013-07-17T16:05:30.706+01:00It is gorgeous yarn.

Usually with me it's forgetting something simple like a yarn over or knitting a stitch that I was supposed to do a decrease withAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653016623039433227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-30673041851113794092013-07-17T15:43:19.408+01:002013-07-17T15:43:19.408+01:00It depends on whether you can live with the mistak...It depends on whether you can live with the mistakes or not. I have a mistake in my Icarus Shawl. I tried to fix it because I *knew* where it was...but I couldn't fix it. So I have an extra yarn over and an extra K2tog to fix it. I know exactly where the one mistake is. If you look for it, you can find it. Otherwise, no one notices.

Also when you start again be sure to put in a lifeline every now and then you will have a mistake-free point to go back to. I wish you weren't an ocean away.

Use a row to get it to the correct number and just start the lace from where you last stopped. That way, I'd get a clean start with your lace and if you messed it up as often as you say you did it might just look like a different section of lace. 2, rip the whole shawl out and just start from scratch again. It really sucks but the yarn you have is perfect for the pattern so it would definitely be worth the effort if you did that.Christine Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762547340269645639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-66567761583935154662013-07-17T10:04:18.863+01:002013-07-17T10:04:18.863+01:00Whatever you decide to do with it, that's love...Whatever you decide to do with it, that's lovely yarn.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.com
