nacramamoI'm behind on posting, but I'll try to make up for it. It's just been another biz biz week. Today I sat down with my knitting machine in the evening. Every fibre artist knows the pain of frogging and unravelling and I was so mad at myself for having to undo 130 stitches. I made one row too many. For the sake of striping, I couldn't get it go :D
The trouble with undoing stitches on a knitting machine is that you have to put the previous stitch back on the needle. Things you don't want to do 130 times ;-D
The steel needles are also sharp and somehow I dragged my pinkie across the hooks. Now my knitting machine has a taste for blood! Great!
Ah well...no pain, no gain.

Date: 2020-11-04 01:24 pm (UTC)I had to unravel the whole thing!
My mistake was calculating six rows per inch instead of five, which is why it was too long.
The good news though is that I switched up one of the colours so it was worth the change.
