the mysterious hole.

I went to sew up the sleeve of the hoodie the other night… when I discovered a strange looking hole in the fabric:

Strange Hole!

Travis took a good look at it and he determined just what had gone wrong. I had laid my knitting down (probably to run after the kids) and when I came back, I had picked in up and started to knit in the wrong direction! So there was this odd little half row in there…

I had already bound this off! So it was a little daunting for me to undo it, since I had never ripped back bound-off stitches before. But it wasn’t complicated at all! It was just like any other knit stitch. The strange hole was about eight rows down and not near any of the funky M1 rows–whew!

And more good news: I thought this would set me back and I wouldn’t finish stitching up the sleeves that night but I pushed though that and I did! In fact, the hoodie is almost done now. Just the back of the hood needs sewing and then all the ends need attention.

Would you like to see the hoodie on it’s original recipient?

Buddy in the Sweater

I laughed so hard while taking these photos that I started to cry. Especially when he would flap his little arms about!

Math. Math is very important in knitting. ::snarf::
