Rapid Release

Things were going very well on t he Fair Isle Rapids scarf. I was starting to get into the yellowish end of the green part of the yarn. I blocked it. Took a few pictures. Felt pretty good about it. This is the back.


This is a picture of the big mistake that I made. If you're like Ryan you can't see it, but the top center diamond is missing two rows. That shortens the black part between the outer diamonds and messes up the outer black portion, too. The best part is that it's 30 rows back.


So, because I'm one of those people, I ripped out the 30 rows. All the way back to the last row that was right. I got not one, but two strands of yarn back on the needles and started knitting again.



I guess I should be happy that now I know I can successfully rip out stranded knitting without losing the whole thing. But even though I have re-knit the 30 rows (and then some), it hurts a little .
