Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well and happily tweaking. I have to say I made the classic mistake a few days ago. Have you ever knitted something that you really haven't enjoyed doing, then tried to complete it super quick so that it's out of the way? Have you ever estimated your measurements as you knit, or roughly measured and thought, 'that'll do'? Take heed peeps.
I knitted up a boyfriend cardigan in chunky yarn. I joined the shoulder seams, the back ended up two inches shorter than the front pieces. In total annoyance, frustration and shame I frogged the lot in double quick time. I couldn't believe I had done this!!!! Won't be doing that again. (Frogging probably, cutting corners I don't think so!!!!)
As a prolific knitter I hang my head in shame. The chunky yarn will be knitted up at a later date, and Catherine will be checking things very accurately in the future.
Lesson learned, needle tweakers, onwards and upwards.
Have fun, and most of all make it easy on yourself!!
love Catherine x
