Well. Here is my first knitted design. Not what you expected, right?

I had completely finished the garment, cast off my stitches, and realized I was just not satisfied with the increases and decreases I had made. So, I decided to unravel half of my work from the cast on edge(where I started)...haha, lesson learned. Unraveling from the cast on edge doesn't really work out the greatest.
I was having to un-weave, rather than unravel. To make matters worse I thought it would be a brilliant idea to cut a little bit of the work to see if it would unravel better(a result of all those bits of wound scrap yarn in the photo), which I am still going to use, regardless of their short lengths.
Thanks to the help of Ravelry, confirming to me that unraveling from the cast on edge is not ideal, I was able to move on and instead unravel starting at the end of my work. In end, having to unravel the entire piece.
In conclusion, I am looking on the bright side, at least I have my design written down. Now it is just a matter of knitting it back together and making a few small modifications.
I tried to comment on this the other day, but my phone wouldn't let me log in.
ReplyDeleteI ended up with the same kind of problem with that scarf I had crocheted. I wasn't satisfied with it and decided I wanted to try something else. I couldn't figure out which end I had ended on, so just arbitrarily picked an end. Needless to say it was the wrong end! lol!
I realized the situation pretty quickly and started working the other end. But it was still a hassle!
Good luck with your design!!!!!
yeah, with crocheting and knitting you are learning new things very often.
DeleteHaha, well, at least now we know there is a 'wrong' end to NOT unravel. :P
Thank you! I am hoping to finish knitting up the design by the end of the day today!
Happy crocheting!!!
