kitty: homework.... big mistake in the design, time to rip

Hold the presses.... BIG MISTAKE

So on paper this didn't look like it would be a big deal. The core stitch patterns were balanced and it flows from the pattern before, but the reality is plain ugly. So back to the drawing board.

Reason:

1) There is one stitch difference on the left and right side. I didn't think this would be a big deal but as you can see the right hand side is a nice smooth increase while the left hand side is bunchy and forms awkward lines.

2) There needs to be some holes in this section. It is just to solid for what other wise is a really airy design.

So bottom line it is a failure so back to the starting board. I just ripped out stitch pattern 3 and the start of stitch pattern 4 to start over again. :(

  1. Oh no!
    You were brave to rip now and you'll be so much happier when the shawl is finished.
