oh dear little tree
it’s not your fault, but you really ought to be in a very different place. You should be where I’ve worked up to in this row, not several stitches further along. Once again I display my amazing inability to count. It wouldn’t be so bad if I had noticed, before working waist shaping, waist shaping that begins 32 rows back. The tree is moving, the crochet hook is attacking, and it will be fixed. On no account however, am I frogging 32 rows of sticky 4 ply shetland yarn, with around 300 - 350 sts per row. Wish me luck.
In case you happen to be curious, this is a wrap cardigan for the mother of one of my mother’s friends. There’s something slightly odd about knitting for someone I’ve never met, I hope she likes it. (this is a commision, I don’t as a general rule knit gifts for strangers)

Oh my! I’ve done that before. Haven’t we all though? Ugh. I’ll send my “across the pond knitting fairies” right over.
I love that tree stitch marker, by the way. My cupcakes are used daily! I get compliments on them all the time.

eek! I can’t count either. I am not kidding! I really can’t count.

:( i think it must be a common problem!
out of curiosity, where did you learn how to fix mistakes like that without ripping out?
because i really need to learn ? i’ve worked out ways to fix some mistakes, but some others have me bamboozled! i’d be really grateful if you could suggest any books/resources.
thanks for the tute on spiralling stripes, by the way!
