My Shorty

I have finally finished the five panels for the afghan I'm making for Glenn. I started to seam it together yesterday. I'd been sort of dreading the seaming but it was going along pretty well. Until I hit the third panel.




As you can see, I shorted the third panel. I think I've mentioned before that math is not my strong suit and here's the proof. Instead of seaming it all together, I'm now in the process of ripping back the bind off and going to be adding another pattern repeat to this. Hopefully I'll get it done today and will have the afghan finished sometime over the weekend. I don't understand how this happened because I was keeping track of rows and pattern repeats. Live and learn.
It's funny because recently I was looking back at this blog and realizing how far I've come since knitting a garter stitch scarf then whamo I make a silly mistake like this! I'm just glad that the mistake isn't one that can't be fixed. Hopefully I'll have a completed afghan to show you early next week.

That happens to me so often - I think some knitting is going really, then all of a sudden I notice a big mistake I could have sworn wasn't there minutes ago. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished afghan!

Oops! I know the feeling. Oh well, at least it was fixable without too much pain. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

You've come along nicely, especially since you realize that you control the knitting and not the other way round. Mistakes are learning opportunities. And most oops are fixable.

It just happens, Susie. Glad it was easily corrected, and I bet Glenn will love it even more knowing you had to do some backtracking just to make it perfect for him!!
Looking forward to seeing the finished masterpiece!!! I love the color!!!

At least this is something fixable - I could see myself doing the same thing!
