As I've been plugging away on this week's WIP Wednesday project, the second of my Allgäu Socks, I've been able to see mistakes in the first that I never knew were there.
Spot it? This is the underside of the sock and the mistake is more visible here than on the pattern section.
There's two of these... do I care? Well, unusually, no - not really.
I can't quite tell why, I normally have a zero-tolerance policy for mistakes in my handknits but these just aren't really bothering me. Perhaps it's just the sheer quantity of work that would be involved in ripping back a sock because you made a mistake on the third pattern repeat, perhaps it actually just doesn't matter.
I can't see a mistake in the second sock yet ;)
I can't see the mistake! It depends on the mistake, I was this afternoon knitting and forgot an increase, and needless to say instead of ripping out 6 rows of the cardigan I am reading everyone's blogs hoping the mistake will go away by itself!
ReplyDeleteI'm generally pretty laid back about mistakes in my knitting (took me a while to spot yours, so it's definitely not that noticeable!) usually I can live with it far more than I can bear frogging!
ReplyDeleteIf someone's looking close enough to spot this mistake when they are on, kick em! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the mistake. I am usually fussy about my mistakes. I have been trying to be more laid back about it.
ReplyDeleteI seriously can't see the mistake at all! I think it looks great and love the color.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while, but now I see it! And I can't really say it's bothering me either. The colour combo is very fresh!
