WIP cardigan (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 11 months ago by Chais@sh.itjust.works to c/knitting@lemmy.world

Misread the pattern and now I get to redo 16 repeats of 16 rows of cabling plus some moss stitch.
On the plus side I can fix the mistakes I made. And hope I don't make more…

Oh wow, absolute respect for being willing to redo that much, that sounds like the sort of situation where I'd be convincing myself "it's not a mistake it's a reinterpretation" just to avoid frogging 😅

Looks extremely cosy though, and I love the colour you picked!

Believe me, that took some convincing. But otherwise I'd have to sew the pieces together, which changes the measurements slightly and there will be a piece that goes around everything. So it's in the interest of everything going together.

On the plus side I'm faster than the first time and I'm happier with the tension, too.
