stitch.rip.stitch

today it seemed that i could stitch only about three rows, before i would realize i had made a monumental mistake, pass the knitting to my mom and say "help!"  she would inevitably find a stupid mistake (too many yarn overs seemed to be the order of the day) and i would rip it all back to a place where the knitting was clean.


the frustrating thing?  was i knitting some complicated cable pattern or fair isle?  no.  it was a straight forward dishcloth on number 7 needles.


in the end, after one more mistake on pattern repeat no. three, i ripped out the whole thing and plan to maybe start again tomorrow.  in my defence, it was noisy and busy in the living room with all the family around...the official score for the day?


knitting pattern: 3,000/this knitter: 0

11.27.07 update:  turns out all i needed was a little peace and quiet... the dishcloth is done and it is my hubby amante's new favorite!  yay for another finished project to add to the list!
