I am making my first knitted project ever! So new that the first time I even held needles was when swatching for this tee!
So, I’ve done about 8 rounds and found a mistake several rounds back. It’s right where the lace meets the sleeve. If it where just in the St. st area I could fix it, but I’m stumped here.
The hole right under the stitch marker next to my middle finger is not supposed to be there. The others to the right are, that’s the lace area.
I would be tempted to get out a darning needle and a small peice of yarn and just pull the hole together from the back. The yarn looks thick enough that it wouldn’t show that little “fix”.
Oh shoot. Sorry to hear that. Good for you for just jumping right in and trying though. Stuff like that intimidates some experienced knitters! And…experiences like that are great for learning, even though frustrating.
Well that’s exactly what I figure, I’m LEARNING to knit and for me, this is the best way. I don’t want any scarves or hats or towels or potholders. I want this tee!! I’ll keep with it if the outcome is worth it, whereas if I were learning by making something I didn’t care about, I’d toss the yarn and never learn to knit.
You know how you can drop a knit and change it to a purl? You can change a k2 into a ssk… a yo k2tog into a k2!! Anything! Will probably help to practice on a swatch with the same mistake but BIG needles and wool, fix mistake on swatch first.
If you can’t figure that out, be glad you noticed on row 8 or whatever, rather when getting ready to caston for the neckline. Let’s say the whole tee will be 100 rows from neck to waist: you now have to knit a total of 108 rows for the tee instead of 100. Not too bad comparatively right?
