Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

How Well Do You Know Me?

.

I'd like to play a little game with you, blogging friends. I'd like to test how well you know my "disposition" (I don't like the word "personality").

I started knitting a pair of mittens for Peach last weekend. I was halfway up the mitten when I noticed an error many rows back. I don't know how I did it (well, I know how, but have no idea why), but there was a purl right there in the midst of my nice even, knit stitches.

Can you see it?



Doug advised me me to ignore it, but did I? Did I rip the stitches out down to the flaw and fix it, or did I just keep knitting and finish the mitten? What do you say?

    I'm going to say that you ripped out the stitches and fixed the mistake because you wouldn't have been able to abide looking at the mistake every time Peach wore her mittens.

    Oh, or was I just projecting my own tendencies onto you again? . . . :)

    Well, I think I would have just left it...but, I bet you ripped it out! Am I right?

    I think you decided to keep it because it's cool and make the other one match!

    *I* think you ripped it and started over...just as I caught and corrected a wrong smocking stitch...I just could not go on with that one stitch creating havoc all the way down the design...I say you did some frog stitching...rip it, rip it, rip it! :)

    You ripped it out...you probably knit past it for a little while, trying to convince yourself that the mistake was humbling, that no one is perfect...and then you ripped it out!

    BTW...DPN's???!!! I'm so impressed! And you told me you were a novice...those needles tell otherwise!

    You ripped it out. If it was me, not only would I have ripped it out, I would have started over from the beginning. Which is why I don't knit much.

    I can't decide if I think that you ripped it out or like Sara suggested just made the other mitten to match - because it does look cute!

    I can't see the mistake, but I'm betting you took that mitten apart so you could fix the error only you could see.

    (I'd have done the same thing, if I knew how to knit in the first place.)

    Showing my total ignorance of knitting here--why are you using chopsticks to make mittens?

    You ripped !! Didn't want to but couldn't not. Thought about it for awhile.... tried to justify not rippng and really tried not to rip....but ripped anyway and reknitted without the flaw. RIGHT??? ss

    My second guess is: Gave up knitting altogether!

    Well, I'd have torn it off and thrown it out and started over. Forget ripping, just snip the bugger off and start over. I'm guessing you fixed it. If I know I make a mistake - even if no one else notices - I must fix it.

    You ripped it out and fixed it!! It would bug you too much to let it go! Now, If I ever learned how to knit and actually knit something that resembled a mitten, flaws and all, I would not rip it out!!

    But you are a pro, it would bug you too much to leave it!

    well, since it looks like you are stopped on that column of stitches i am guessing you ripped back to the stitch. lucky for you it was just the one stitch since that is a pretty easy fix (and you dont have to frog all those stitches back).
    though, if it is on the top part of the hand you can just put a flower or some sort of something over it which would be totally cute.
    still going with the ripping

    I don't even know what your are talking about..and am more in line with Barb, SFO..the chopstic's thing, but I say you fixed it. It's just a mom thing. We fix it.
