River Mistakes & Do-overs
In my last post I pointed out the row of missing yarnovers in River. But there are two more mistakes that I didn’t notice until I was at work looking at the photos. Can you find the two misplaced yarnovers? What happened?
Fortunately when the shawl is not on the blocking board, you really don’t notice them. And they’re too far into the middle of the shawl to go back and fix them. I’m still waiting to decide if I’m redoing the row of missing yarnovers.
So while waiting to decide, I finished the donut. Isn’t it the cutest little thing?
But the size elastic the pattern asked for is way too strong to use in such a delicate thing. I can get the shawl through the donut hole, but it’s a big pain in the butt. I would never end up using something that is that annoying. So…I’m going to try to make a new donut before Wednesday, this time using much less substantial elastic. I like the idea of the donut, and with the shawl as short as it is, it would be nice to have this fastening option.
Now I’m off to work. And all the way from Australia, Jo Sharp will be in the store today.
