a twist in my knitting...

Look what I spotted last night while inspecting my new cardi
a twist!!
my choices... frog back my days worth of knitting... or
since theres a steek in it already... cut the steek and take out the twist.
I cut the steek.

first I crocheted up the steek to stabalize it.
( the orange yarn)

grabbed the scissors and cut.
take out the twist
then I made sure to cast back on the 3 sts I lost in the cut..

and continue knitting...

this is what I'm up too... 2 rows till hit the middle of the chart...

I don't know if I like the chart with this yarn... I bet it would look awsome with EQ the rainbow yarn...


I'll continue on for a bit and see if I like whats coming out... if not I'll rip back and figure out something new...
it's not too bad tho.. tell me what you think.

Yeesh, that first Kauni turned you into a knit cutter! Lol. I still cringe at the thought. And I'm not too sure on the colors. Definately knit up a bit more and see how it looks. It just looks to me like the colors blend a little bit and it's kinda hard to make out the design. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll turn out lovely. :)

What a brilliant brilliant solution. Even if it doesn't turn out the way you want you should definitely award yourself a fearless knitting button. Maybe look for the genius knitting fixer button too.

You are very brave - cutting a steek. I've never done that!
