Well, the Mystery Shawl and I had a falling out yesterday. The Shimmer decided that it wanted to pool. I had two big yellow blobs, one either side of the shawl.
\nI was Not Happy.
\nSo, after dithering about for a while, I decided that it had to be fixed. The only way to fix it would be to rip it back. I don’t use lifelines.
\nBoy, do I wish I freakin’ had used a lifeline. I’m just too lazy. Sooner or later, I will learn that it is less work to put in a lifeline than it is to try to pick up lace stitches without one.
\nSo, I decided it had to be ripped back, and I yanked out the needle.
\nSee the pooling bits? I’ve marked them out. They don’t look so bad off the needles as they did on, but I couldn’t live with it. There is another one a it further back, as you can see. I’m not ripping back that<\/i> far, however.

\nHere’s the lovely little pile of markers that I had to get back in, too!

\nHere’s a close up of the yellow bits. I had started the next row, and the yellow was going to fall in the same spot again<\/i>. I should have been working from two balls right from the start. Another thing I know, but am too lazy to put into action!

\nSo then I ripped back. I had planned to go back maybe 4 rows. I ended up back 8 rows, and had to tink the last row to find all the stitches. I hate<\/i> finding YO’s!
\nHowever, this morning she is back on the needles!

\nAnd here are the yellow bits, fixed.

\nAfter I ripped it back, I started knitting with two skeins, which I should have done from the start. Now I’m worried that the new part will look odd, because the first part was knit from one skein. Here’s how the shawl looks now.

\nI have a sinking feeling that the part knitted with two skeins is going to have the colours more mixed, and will look totally different from the start. The sinking feeling I have tells me that it’s going to be ripped back to the start and started over. Please reassure me! Reassure me lots!!
\nEm has been sick since Thursday night \ud83d\ude41
\nIt’s just a flu bug, which has been going around. A lot of kids from school and dancing have had it, and now it’s Em’s turn. High fevers, sore throat, headache and coughing. She’s feeling better today though, and is back to picking out monkey names. Competition closes tonight, get your entries in!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
