So I’ve been working on my Magic Carpet Ride scarf in fits and starts lately, but much more since I finished Em’s shorty and the Firestarters.
I’m about two thirds of the way up the second half.
Looking pretty good, huh?
So last night, I decided to have a bit of a read of the pattern. And discovered that I had stuffed up. Or done an Artistic Interpretation, you decide. (Personally, I’m going with Artistic Interpretation!)
See these diamonds?
They aren’t right. Well, there’s too many of them, anyway.
You get the diamonds by working one chart, then repeating the same chart, but offset by 4 stitches. After I did that four times, I was supposed to stop offsetting the chart, and work it all in a row again, getting triangles instead of diamonds.
I just didn’t read the pattern properly the first time around. However, after looking at it all last night and today, I don’t think it’s bothering me enough to go back and redo it. I actually had no idea at all that mine wasn’t right until I read the pattern last night and then went and looked at some of the finished ones on Ravelry.
I do like the triangles on the others, just not enough to rip out and redo 80 rows of lace!
I wouldn’t go back either–I like the diamonds. 🙂
It’s your scarf. What you say (or do) goes, and it looks lovely. Especially in that colour.
I wouldn’t go back either. If I were going to rip out 80 rows, I wouldn’t even start it again. I like the artistic interpretation.
I wouldn’t go back either, I think it looks great!
That looks alright to me – besides, the diamonds look fabulous.
I totally would NOT frog it! I think it looks great!
It does look beautiful Donna, your own personal design too. I wouldnt rip it back either.
I like the diamonds. I don’t think I would rip back either. Anything more than 5 rows is more that I can take tinking with a lace pattern.
I love the diamonds!
I think it looks great & I can’t imagine ripping out 80 rows. While this pattern will be your very own design. Emm looks great in the Sheland Shorty.
I think it looks great – I wouldn’t rip it back. I vote for artistic interpretation!
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! Looks lovely Donna!
I like it the way it is. Original designed by Random Knits.
If you like it, leave it! That’s my motto!!
It looks gorgeous. No ripping please! I’m going with artistic interpretation.
