Saturday was Sit & Stitch. Saturday was the day I started the christening dress. Saturday was the day I frogged the christening dress... at least 3 times
Sunday was the day I started it again. And again. And again. And once more.
I got to row 6 and no further. After what felt like about 30 times, I compared my chart with the pattern in the book and discovered that row 6 was charted backwards. And I'd inserted an extra knit2together. No wonder it didn't work.
Sunday I finished one repeat of the edging pattern and started the second repeat. Sunday I dropped a stitch. Have you ever tried picking up a dropped stitch on 2.25 mm needles, laceweight yarn? With yarn overs and knit2togethers? After all that work to get past row 6?
I frogged it.
I WILL NOT LET THIS PATTERN WHIP MY A$$!!!

ReplyDeleteI tried to knit a christening dress once - a long time ago - but I recall that I never got more than one inch of knitting done because I kept making mistakes. Be strong and persevere!
ReplyDeletejust think of how nice it will be when it is done!
