We had our monthly Tollway Tatters meeting via Zoom this morning, and it was just what I needed. Despite my efforts to be very careful, I tatted one too many spokes on this round of Renulek's Snow Doily. I didn't want to cut the treads, so I was very slowly untatting 13 rings and the adjoining chains. Let me tell you, that was a very frustrating and painstaking task.
When I was trying to decide what to work on during our meeting, I decided that untatting while chatting might be just what I needed. I was right! It took me almost three hours to finish taking out the rings and chains, and then tatting them correctly. In fact right before signing off, I realized that I had twisted the final chain. I said my goodbyes, took a few minutes break, and then fixed that final mistake.
Mistakes seem to be my thing lately. Yesterday, I finished the back pane of my Harvest Cardigan... or so I thought. When I started crocheting the first front panel, I realized I had crocheted more than half of the back panel using the wrong stitch. That's what I get for setting a project aside for a couple of weeks. My plan is to finish the first front panel, and then I will rip out the part that I crocheted incorrectly. There's not a big difference in the look, but there is a big difference in the drape of the fabric.
I'm thinking that's it time to focus on one project at a time!
The Snow Doily looks beautiful! Your patience is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteOh good for you, I don’t think I’d have patiently undone so much. It’s looking lovely. At least the crochet will be much easier to undo!
ReplyDeleteYou need nerves of steel to undo 13 rings. I would have cut it and retatted. Your doily looks really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMistakes are irritating. We were at the Annual Native Plant Society meeting in Fischers, IN
