Blooper!
My Sarcelle shawl is coming along nicely. I love working with this vibrant blue wool. I was knitting in front of the computer the other day and decided to look at other people's Sarcelles on Ravelry.
Ooh, pretty... Nice, nice. Like their choice of yarn... Hey! My lace doesn't look like anyone else's. How did everyone else get those nice lines of yarnovers?
DUDES.
I was totally reading the odd rows of the chart backwards. As in, this has patterning on both sides of the work but I was reading every row from right to left. I KNOW. What, did I just learn to knit last week? Is this my first lace shawl?
But y'all know I didn't even consider redoing anything. I laughed at myself and then calmly continued knitting in the correct way. It will be, like, a story to tell every time I wear this shawl. Well, only a story other knitters would find amusing. Here is my Sarcelle pre-blooper discovery. I'll make sure to take a pic that shows the Point of Knowledge once I make enough progress.
What's your most painful and/or entertaining knit blooper?
