So, here’s how the Cap Shawl was looking on January 11.
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI cast on the shawl on June 12, and have been working on it intermittently in the seven months since. I started to work on it again on Monday, because I had plans to enter it into the Sydney Easter Show, and needed to get back to work on it. By this morning, I was up to row 135. Not long after I began my first round, I discovered this mistake.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI contemplated it for a little while, but decided it couldn’t be fudged, the stitch count was out and it would affect the pattern in that section. It’s twelve rows back and I didn’t much like the idea of tinking back 12 rows when there’s somewhere in the neighbourhood of 700 sts per row.
\nI decided to be brave and try surgery to remedy it.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI carefully undid that section back to the mistake. I sorted out the threads and pinned them out of the way.

\nSo far, so good.
\nIt was all downhill from there. I dropped stitches that I couldn’t recover and lost the pattern entirely.
\nThe Cap Shawl is no more.
\nSeven months of knitting, twenty minutes to frog. You’ll find me in the corner, with a box of tissues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
