No fudging


I've learned the hard way that if I goof on this shawl that I can't just fudge the next row and keep going--the mistake really shows up. After making mistakes two and three, I bit the bullet and unknitted back to the first mistake. It felt like a huge amount of unknitting but was only five or six rows. I just hate UNknitting (or "tinking"; that's "knit" backwards).

However, I am pleased with the results and have pledged to inspect each row after knitting in the hope that I will catch any mistakes before I've knit an additional several rows. So far, so good.

I really love this yarn and the color is kind of washed out by the flash here.

More dishcloths: a reverse miter dishcloth, great for using up half balls of cotton yarn. I almost ran out of binding-off yarn, whoops. The stripey yarn is Peaches N'Cream Fiesta, and seems to be the brights and pastels of Fiestaware.


The ubiquitous ballband dishcloth with green, red, and yellow yarns in the background. Very fun!
