On to this week's progress:
The first sleeve is growing, as it goes with all my projects knitted for myself apparently, I had to rip back 10cm of work and redo it as the patterning was completely wrong - URGH!!
I have now come back to where I was and am moving forward, hoping that I will make good progress with sleeve 2 by next week so that I can start to focus on the finish line!
Do you have the same problems when you knit something for yourself?
I am seriously starting to wonder if it is a phenomenon to be considered or if, because I am knitting it for myself, I become very picky about the work as I will ultimately be wearing my trademark?
I guess being a knitter (my "Knit in Public" reputation precedes me) most of my friends will ask if I knit what I am wearing. If I say yes, they move in for a closer look, and I really don't want to start to get uncomfortable as I see that awful YO gone wrong leering at me from the corner of my elbow, know what I mean?
Anywhoo, the next project is just around the corner and it should be smooth sailing as it is not for me LOL!! :)
Did you miss the Knitting Madness Event last Friday?

ReplyDeleteHi fjord girl,
DeleteThank you so much, it is a really lovely pattern to knit and it does grow quite quickly especially if you are not having to rip it out once a week LOL ;)

just gorgeous....and yes I agree with you...I am always more of a perfectionist on my own knits!!
ReplyDeleteHi Alisa,
DeleteThank you kindly, I am so glad to hear other people have the same issues :)
Thanks for visiting.

It is very beautiful Natalie ;-) the colour is very wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you also, I check my knitting again and again just to be sure that there aint now flaws.
I am a perfectionist whether for me or for someone else. Lovely yarn you are knitting with :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pattern. X
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is lovely. Great yarn/pattern pairing.
ReplyDeleteI mainly knit socks for myself, so folks don't tend to examine them as closely. :)
So frustrating! Maybe it's because other people can't see the mistakes but * we * know they're there. Can't wear something when that's in the back of our minds!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting pattern, I love the lacy structure. I am always very picky about my knitting and often unravel and redo. There are things that if I count all the redoing, I've actually knit at least twice, until finished.
