Frogging, cont'd [knitting]

[rebeccmeister]

This morning I wound another skein of yarn to get ready to restart the cardigan's back panel, and then I set about more carefully reading the pattern to make absolutely sure I get things right this time.

...That's when I discovered that the pattern I'd printed out is actually TWO patterns, and that the spot where I thought I was in error was because I'd accidentally switched into the instructions for the second pattern!

Whoops.

I've pulled the needles out of the previous back panel, but I didn't start frogging it yet, so now I actually only need to pull out ~10-15 rows, I think, and I can then get back on track.

Way less work than completely restarting the back!

I also removed all the pages for the second pattern so I don't run into that issue again.

Jeez.

High drama knitting.

The majority of the talks I wanted to go to today have been canceled, and I don't see much in the afternoon sessions, so it's probably time to sneak off for a while and do other things.

I know a lot of people listen better when they're doing some simple task with their hands like doodling or knitting and speakers do well to not take offence to it, but I'm also imagining mischievous audiences yarnbombing a speaker. Would give "panel" a new meaning.

excellent to hear!

Yes, what a relief! A much more silly mistake than where I'd been thinking I went wrong, but I had a hard time thinking I'd make that big of an error. Back on track!
