What a shame! I once lost a pattern and notes I had made and had to
"reverse engineer" as you are doing -- not fun! Nowdays I make sure I put the papers into the bag/basket/whatever WITH THE YARN. |

I have done the same thing more than once. The last time was the red
and black sweater for my sister I told you about a few weeks ago. It was my own patter after measuring. I was not careful and lost the notebook with my data. I still do not keep a good journal. But, I still preach to all the new knitters and crocheters how important it is and I do not listen to what I preach? Oh well Dennis mirjam wrote: last year i staerted a vest , made up some pattern and this was my carry around project , put it aside during the summer , finished the half bodice of back 2 1/2 frons ,,,, and my calculations are`n t to be found ,,, Weird i usually write it all in a copybook , but somehow not this pattern,,, it was `born`, while riding the train , thus had it on loose pages ,,,,, and now ????? nada ,,,, thus i ended up yesterday counting stitiches and rows and measuring and calculating it all anew ,,,,, brrrrr mirjam |

Well let me tell you the dumb thing I do...I always have more than one
project going at once and I have to have a pattern in front of me. I just number the rows on a piece of paper and check each row off as I finish it. If I have to put it down or away for awhile I haven't a clue which paper goes with what at times and could just kick myself in the pants. But I'm learning to put the pattern's name at the top after wasting a lot of time trying to figure my mess out. |

Linda
When i weave i have a paper onthe loom and i just moove a pin from row to row, to know which row is to be woven next. With knitting , as i wrote i have copybooks , I calculated all in the train started knitting and the papers stayed in the bag ,,,,,,,,, brrr , thus possibly fel out somewhere ???? I don`t mind the recalculating , i do mind the lost time...In knitting i am less bound to see my written calculations, somehow after `repeating the pattern` , 2-3 times i get into the Rhitmus of the pattern , i know how the `repeat pattern` must `develop`. thus i don`t need my papers so much , But in `complicated patterns` i do use a row counter which hangs on my needles. And usualy in my copybook [unlike this time brrr] i write down every detail of info about the work , even if i liked it !!!! or had problems with the threads ... mirjam |
