I.AM.SUCH.AN.IDIOT!!!!!<\/p>\n

So, surely you read about how I picked up my sweater again<\/a> and to start knitting and how I realized I need to frog about 8″ because I had misread the pattern! But I cheerfully frogged it and got back to where I was and now I’m on side #2 and I’m at the point where I’m to decrease 2 times for the next 7 rows. The same place I had messed up, but fixed now, on the other side panel. After attending yesterday’s lace class I know now that ssk will slant to the left and k2tog will slant to the right. And, I realize I want to ssk so that it will look nice. So I decrease the first row – yes, 2 times as the pattern instructs. And, it hits me. DECREASE! Not bind off! OH.MY.WORD!! <\/strong> I have a sinking feeling in my stomach as I turn off the podcast and reach for the other side panel. Despair! I.am.an.idiot. (sigh) I had BO 2x for 7 rows and then again at the neckline. (bigger sigh)<\/p>\n

Part of me says “let it go – it’s your first sweater – you should<\/strong> have mistakes”<\/em>. The other part of me – the part I’m going to listen to – is telling me “you will not be proud of this sweater – like you should<\/strong> be – if you do not fix this mistake.”<\/em> And, yes…I hear my college psychology professor chanting “Don’t should on yourself!” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I’m just sick about this! It’s definitely going in the time-out drawer until I can face it again. Back to charity hats! At least they like me!<\/p>\n
