Sometimes I just wonder where my mind actually goes. I sat down to knit on the shrug I am making, clacking along at a pretty good clip. When I get to the last 3 stitches, I realize I have skipped 2 rows of instruction. Well, you might say, that's fairly easy to do. NOT WHEN YOU HAVE A STICKY ARROW POINTING TO THE CORRECT ROW!! GEEZLUEEZE!!!
Call me a lazy knitter; I don't care! I am not knitting backwards for 60 stitches - I have tried that many times and if it's over 10 stitches back, I ruin the entire thing. SO. There ya go! I was feeling so smug not having made any mistakes with it. But, I always seem to make at least 1 mistake when I'm knitting anything. I'm about 75% on my way to completion with this. That's my maker's mark that this shrug was knitted by me. I name it; I own it; I don't have to like it!
