I made a mistake. Ok, I said it. I'm sorry but I did.
Look at it.
How did that yarn over get over there? I thought I was being oh so diligent reading the pattern, the most complicated I've attempted to date. I was feeling very chuffed indeed at my blossoming knitting skillz.
With every round I see the mistake and I am annoyed. But I will not go back. Oh no siree jim bob. Plus, that's what the back of the hat is for.
Despite the mistake [shudder] I love this pattern. I'm addicted to it. It kept me up til 3am a few nights ago just so I could conquer the first few rows (for some reason getting out of the ribbing and into the pattern kicked my butt. I think because I had to increase stitches and math it out).
I know all you yarnies out there were mesmerised by the hat donned by Gwen Stacy / Emma Stone in one of the final scenes of The Amazing Spiderman. Some clever raveler wrote up the pattern. People really are amazing.
This is a hat for me. The first hat for me. So, why not make a hat with everything all in one?? It has cables. It has bobbles. It has cool zig-zagging yarn overs. Awesome. Well, it doesn't have a pom-pom, but no one's perfect.
P.S. In the light of day, I don't think the mistake is *that* bad.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure no one will notice. It looks fine.
ReplyDeleteNo one will know. It looks fine. I think you're brave making your first hat with such a complicated pattern.
ReplyDeleteWow I love the scarf... And the hat is absolutely gorgeous... I say it's a go :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I wouldn't have noticed it unless you pointed it out. And no-one (including you!) will be looking as closely as you currently are while you're knitting it, once it's on your head. It's gorgeous :-). I may have to add the pattern to my list...
ReplyDeleteThat's true. I think I was just annoyed at such a silly error. The only thing worse is frogging though, so live and learn I guess :)
DeleteTanya, I am obviously not a good knitter at all as I can not even *see* this mistake! That is a lovely hat though, and I am sure yours will look wonderful too! ^_^
