This week for #WIPWednesday I am in about the same place as last week with a tale of woe about #knitting going backwards.

I got a number of decreases on the first sleeve done before stopping to look at the jumper properly and noticing it looked wonky. I’d missed an instruction to move the marker round a few stitches at the end of the colourwork so the decreases would fall directly under the arm. So the decreases (kind of like the underarm seam) were offset towards the back of the jumper and it looked a bit odd and would probably feel odd to wear.

I’ve stuck with enough knitting mistakes in the past to have learnt that it’s better to stop and fix it than put all your effort into something you end up disliking. Time to rip back.

I threaded a line through a round of stitches just after the colourwork (as I didn’t want to risk messing that up) then ripped the work out and picked up the stitches again. It took a while but I got there in the end. Hopefully this time I get it right!
