Knitting errors...

It's inevitable. You're going to have knitting errors, some small and some large. If you're like me almost every project will contain an error of some sort. I've found that some are much less noticeable than others and a few are major errors that results in unwinding the entire project.

Whatever the case, don't give up! Errors are common occurrences. Tell yourself it's okay to have them. They make your item unique. Heck, at times you can even discover a stitch you've never made before.

When all else fails, find humor in your errors. This family made a film as proof of their mom's error...poor lady was aiming for a scarf with 35 stitches and ended up in the 200's! Can't you just imagine her being enthralled in a TV show and ending up with a sweater instead of a scarf?



Aren't children lovely????

Hehehe, the Yarn Harlot says, and I agree, that one of the most important things to learn in knitting, is how to fix your mistakes. A lot of them can be fixed without ripping your whole project out, thankfully.

True, unless you back down at an angle... (My last project!!!) :-)
