Haven't posted about my circular shawl/blanket/whatever recently because i did a boo-boo which would require me to work back at least 2 rows of hundreds of stitches. So instead of tinking (which would drive me even MORE crazy), i have been painstakingly picking up stitches 2 rows below with the hope of being able to rip it out without having to pick stitches up... another thing that I loathe!

Finish last row of silk, 80 stitches.

Perl setup row of mohair, 80 stitches. Do first row of lace pattern, did I mess up? Seems OK, carry on. Perl WS row, *not* 81 stitches, and there's a bit where the lace pattern is wrong. And it's on the first repeat.

Tink one row of perl, attempt to tink one row of lace, fail, tink second row of perl. Spend some time sorting and straightening out last row of silk, 80 stitches. Back where we started!

I have now successfully repeated the three rows in mohair, and probably have the correct 81 stitches. I haven't actually counted but the rows all ended in the right place and the pattern is right this time!

No photos, phone out of battery :D

Phew.
