Learning to Let It Go
I've been working on a circular blanket. I started in the center and have been spiraling out. Well, about row 30 or 40 or so, I noticed I biffed the very center of the blanket, doing two rows exactly the same number of stitches rather than including increases. So I have a lovely nipple in the center of the blanket now. And about row 190 or so, I realized I'd missed some increases in row 120-something that carried through for about 6 rows. gah!!!! I think I've since added in those missing increases, but of course nothing ever really quite makes up for them. I'm hoping washing the blanket and stretching it out some will help. I'm also resigning myself to the fact that I'm going to miss more increases before I'm finished with this thing. It helps that it's a blanket meant for use, and not a sweater or something that needs to lay flat.
