Semi OT - dang knitting
I am busily knitting scarves as gifts for various buddies. Last night I fell
asleep while working on one of them. This AM when I did quick count, I discovered that I had lost 5 stitches. Can't see where either. So unravel and restart! I'm counting every few rows now! Cheryl |

Cheryl Major bummer!!! Not a whole lot more frustrating than trying to find out exactly where a stitch disappeared! I don't know if it will help, but I once had to rip out 5 rows of an afghan (300 sts to a row in a lace pattern yet) when I discovered I'd made a mistake and got the lace pattern off by a couple stitches.

In extreme complicated opatterns i usually thread a line here and
there, as i knit complete sweaters , no seams , every ripping takes away a lot of work ,,,,thus if the pattern is complicated use an embroidery needle with floss and thread it through the work , for example where the pattern starts anew ....if you God Forbid , have to rip , you know at leastto which line [=row] you rip it mirjam On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 14:03:00 -0400, Cheryl Isaak wrote: I am busily knitting scarves as gifts for various buddies.

Perhaps while you were dozing off you let the last stitch of the row fall off the needle? Dora That would have been obvious or at least more obvious that what ever did happen. She better love this scarf! Cheryl |

Perhaps while you were dozing off you let the last stitch of the row fall
off the needle? Dora That would have been obvious or at least more obvious that what ever did happen. She better love this scarf! I'm sure she will. You have high craftmanship standards. My thought was that if the stitch unravelling down encountered a wrap or similar barrier, the stitch would disappear into the previous row, and wouldn't be obvious at all. Still, better to fix these things. I once knitted a sweater with a lace dragonfly on the front, and I must have unravelled it about 15 times, front and back because it was knit on the round. I got it done, but did not place the stitches correctly on the needle, so one wing has a line across it. I notice it every time I wear the sweater. I'm also knitting a scarf out of some orphaned merino, and it is quite fine so it is taking forever. Fortunately, I am babysitting a store today, and it won't be busy, so I'll get lots of knitting done. The lady who is there during the week is a cleaning whirlwind, so there won't be much else for me to do. Dora |
