It lays better, and the left side made it’s border look funny and well you probably couldn’t tell from the photos any way. See, just knitting my\u00a0two options till I\u00a0decided\u00a0was a completely rational idea.\u00a0So here it is now, with almost 2 leafs done. The DNA’s twist are working nicely, they don’t add and extra increases I have to find a way to hide either.
\nAnd I’m thinking, it’s coming along nicely, what a nice treat for something I’m just making up as I go.<\/p>\n
So… that was this morning, and I put another couple hours into this before discovering a mistake about an inch an a half down. It’s an extra yarn over that’s causing my angles to be roughly 60\u00ba when they should be 45\u00ba.\u00a0So what do I do? Do I suck it up and neatly work my way back down or except the mistake and move on. Make it part of the design.<\/span><\/p>\n Then I realized it would have to be the whole middle third section. Then I found more mistakes that where caused by the first \u00a0mistake and I had to frog about an inch down. And I could give you a stitch count but then I would have to have been counting them.<\/p>\n So now it’s smaller than this morning, everything I had\u00a0redone on the left side this morning, I redid… again. But I guess it’s more… righter now…<\/p>\n On a side note I finished at least 3″ on the 2nd of a pair of intarsia\u00a0mittens. I might have started them sooner, but again I made changes to a pattern and didn’t write all of them down. So I had to waste time recounting stitches and rows and increases to even start the 2nd one. I’d like to have them mostly done by this weekend, as it took me almost 4 months to do the first one we’ll see. I do really well under pressure.<\/p>\n Sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So only a couple more rows in and I have decided it.\u00a0The right side is better.

Explain it away, “Yeah, I mean to do that. So it warps outward at the top.”
\nNo, I tried to just work my way down and drop the extra yarn over spread the extra stitch out over the work and work it\u00a0back up. (Why do I always try doing this first, when it only ever worked out well that one time.) Which resulted in this mess. –><\/span><\/p>\n![\"SAMSUNG\"](\"http:\/\/rainymorning.com\/blob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2013-09-28-23.14.46-150x150.jpg\")
But\u00a0because I was getting tired and upset and really needed to get up off the floor\u00a0because my feet had fallen asleep an hour ago, I\u00a0finally\u00a0gave in and frogged it back to the mistake. Leaving this mess on the floor next to me, this took and extra half hour to carefully rewind in a ball.<\/p>\n
