I convinced my friend GB to join me in the knitting adventure and I am glad she did. We decided to pump up our basic knitting skills by knitting this complex (or so we thought) shawl from the Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2011 magazine.
Knitting the shawl turned out to be quite easy. Unfortunately I ran into some headaches. Click on link to read on knitting mistakes - http://sparklearts.blogspot.com/2011/03/knitting-mistake.html. Thanks to GB, I am able to rectify missed stitches easily. I hope to post a video on this soon.
So the third try is truly the charm. No mistakes have been made thus far.
I am knitting a beautiful lace wrap/shawl (#11) from the Vogue Knitting Summer/Spring 2011 Magazine.
As simple as the knitting is, it has caused so many headaches because one has to pay close attention as there is a lot of increasing and decreasing of stitches. So there I was last night, so excited that I was about to use up the 1st skein, when I realized I only had 73 stitches instead of 74. Sigh...!!!! I think I will start all over again.This is the 3rd time. SIGH!!!
Here is a video to help fix mistakes made without having to start your work all over again.
