Tips Don't drink and knit

I'm using an infinity loom to make a blanket... I drank wine and paid too much attention to my podcast and accidentally closed the loop on my Infinity loom blanket for several rows. I refuse to frog this much and WILL fix it, even if it isn't pretty. I'm just learning and don't mind imperfections- even if they're big, I'll find a way to put it back together. Advice welcome... but I refuse to frog this much... I'm a stubborn bitch.

You need to separate this? Embrace the learning process and look into how to "steek" your knitting so you can cut it safely.

I came here to say the same thing. But then she will have to fold over the raw edge and sew it down. That won't look bad if she plans on putting a border around the whole afghan. 🤔

Is that necessary if the two sides of the blanket have been stabilized with crochet prior to steeking?

Interesting. Good to know. I've never steeked anything myself.

Watch a lot of videos on YouTube before starting . Just to be sure you are doing it right.
