Fixed


I subbed again today. I wasn't expecting to, but I was prepared. I'm still tatting Doodle Ice Drops with the same ball of size 20 Lizbeth Green Ice. I love both the pattern and the color! The shuttle is one I blinged a few years ago using fabric from Origami pouches that I made.


This shuttle is one of the new Boye shuttles with the pick cut off. I do not like the pick on these shuttles. I've also found that they pop apart quite easily, so before blinging the shuttle I used super glue to hold the two halves together. I don't mind the shuttles once I've modified them, but straight out of the package I think they're terrible!


As for the title of this post, I was referring to my TOS shawl. I just couldn't stand the mistake. It took me about 20 minutes to rip back, put the stitches back on the circular needle, and fix the mistake. It will take me a bit longer to reknit the rows I took out, but now I'm happy!

      If it had all been one color, I might not have seen it. However, it stuck out like a sore thumb and I just had to take care of it!

    I'm enjoying seeing all your amazing collection of shuttles. You must have a good 'secret stash' of thread stored on the shuttles or are you able to interchange all the bobbins amongst your shuttles?

      I only wind about three yards on a shuttle for Ice Drops. I do leave a little bit of thread on each one as I finish using it... just to prove to myself that the shuttle has been shown some love! ;-)

    That’s exactly what I’d have done, Diane. Fixed it!! I’m no good at fudging mistakes!

      I've left mistakes in many projects, but this one was over the top! Besides, I learned a lesson... check, check check! Actually, I think I've learned that lesson before!

    Well done for sorting out the shuttle as well as the shawl.

    Most of the time I fix mistakes. Occassionally, I decide they're design variations. Especially if the intended use/recipient is creative!
