Is not like the others. Are you singing the song? Can you guess which thing is not like the others?
I’m sitting on the fence. Should I frog it and reknit it correctly? Will I notice? It doesn’t matter if others will notice. But if I will, there’s a chance I might not wear it. It’s not even conscious. I will be giving this sweater the side eye.
Or can I embrace it? Can I say, “Yep! I’m not perfect! Look at these misplaced increases!” (Points over shoulder.) “But what a beautiful blue. And it’s so warm and cozy!”
My biggest fear is that I will frog it, and then make some other dumb mistake. Why risk it?
At least I know what happened. I dropped a couple of stitches at the beginning of the round, as one will do, and clearly misplaced the beginning of round marker. I won’t be making that mistake again. No sirree. You won’t catch me doing that twice.
I’m going to call it my 2020 sweater. That explains everything. The year, and the hindsight.
What are you working on?
I signed up for classes at the Knit City Virtual Event today. I’m so excited!

Pop it on some waste yarn and try it on and see if you can see it. Is it on the front or back side of the jumper?

Well then I’d personally leave it 😂 I’m sure when tried on even back to front you won’t be able to tell.

Oh, no! What are you going to do? I guess it depends on whether it is in the front or back. Maybe? Hey, you could do all your sweaters that way and make it your signature. It is a lovely blue.

I’d drop just enough stitches to get back to the mistake, and re-knit just that area. I’ve gotten to where that’s my usual way of correcting mistakes that aren’t all the way around. Or I’d frog it – it’s all process, after all, and it looks like a quick knit, and it’s just not that far. If I’d finished the entire sleeve I’d leave it, and know that I’m not perfect. And hey, there’s NO WRONG ANSWER!! You’re the artist!

I think I’m going to try to drop it back and reknit it. That will be a good learning experience, too.

Oh man! Will it make you crazy knowing that it’s there or can you embrace it? Trying it in seems like a good idea to help the decision making process.

I think it will make me crazy. I’m going to try to fix it first, before frogging it.

It’d all come down to whether the sweater will get worn or not, I guess? If you feel you’ll still get good use from the sweater, then leaving it be is fine. Just go with your gut! 😉

I hate to say this, but the fact you are pondering it, and even mentioning that you might not wear it, to me rings alarm bells: I am with kayak2016blog, I would try first and drop four columns, you don’t have extra stitches, so it should be fine, and once you wash it it’ll be perfect.
But I confess to being frogging addict, once spotted the mistake I can’t avoid obsessing about it… It is a most gorgeous blue!

I think I’m going to try this. I’ve never dropped that far back successfully before, but if I mess it up I can always frog back to that point.
