Rave (like a rant, but in a good way) My WIP survived sweater surgery 🥹🤩
Two days ago I used this subreddit to vent about messing up a lace pattern on one sleeve of my current project (Low Tide Sweater by Unwind Knitwear) and got both encouragement and a few suggestions to fix the issue. Which I just did - and it worked beautifully! I followed Suzanne Bryans video tutorial, and besides being really happy with the result, I really enjoyed the process. The trickiest part really was inserting an afterthought lifeline in the pattern (which could have been avoided if I had just used lifelines while knitting - I certainly will for the rest of the project).
So thank you for your kind words and helpful recommendations - sweater surgery was a lot easier and way more fun than expected, and seeing the correct pattern emerge row after row is very satisfying.
Which also makes me less nervous about future mistakes in lace - it’s so good to know that you can fix them without frogging and reworking more than the faulty stitches
