So all this week I have been fighting with my Westport Blanket and having all kinds of trouble. As I was knitting last night it really started to sink in that my work didn’t really look anything like the pattern picture. I think I have found the source of my problem….I PRINTED THE WRONG PATTERN FROM MY LIBRARY! I also own the Brookside Blanket also by Fifty Four Ten Studio and accidentally printed that from Ravelry.
As you can see, this pattern photo looks MUCH more like what was I was knitting than what I showed in my post on Tuesday.
Now, this pattern and blanket are lovely. But they just aren’t what I intended. And since the border edge is already messed up on one side I’m just going to frog the entire thing and start over WITH THE CORRECT PATTERN this time. Man, I can be really silly sometimes but I might have to turn my knitter card in over this one though.
Off to the frog pond I go!
Oh no! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that take two goes more smoothly!
I hope that it goes better next time. There is a forum on Revelry that has a thread for people to share their flogging stories. There aren’t too many posts at the moment, but it’s a cool idea. Maybe you’d like to share. https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/knitting-and-crocheting-paradise/3850323/1-25#15
Eh – it happens. It is no fun when it happens, but keep that knitter card! Looking forward to seeing the fresh start!
I know just how you feel. I was learning German Shortrows for a pair of socks and it didn’t quite look right. Watched a video and realized that heel needs to start over. *sigh*
hate frogging. I have done the same thing you have. Printed the wrong one.
