Unravelling


I'm having a go at cables (well Zig Zag really) and I have to say it is going mighty slow. Just out of view in the picture is a cable that zagged when it should've zigged so I have been doing a little unravelling. Even worse, I didn't realise for several rows. Aaaaargh!

If this knitting was for me I would've shrugged and continued on. However, it's for my mum, for her birthday next week, and she has an eagle eye for knitting errors.

Just so you know mum, your birthday present may not arrive on time.

Well I, of course, expect a Fair Isle scarf for my birthday. So I suggest you'd better get started about now.

It looks like it will be a present worth the wait.

See, I would have left it and maintained that I meant the anti-zag to go in that spot for a bit of creativity.

The unpicking might end up being worth it.

It looks gorgeous. I love the shade you chose.

I can barely get beyond Plain so this is a thing of beauty to me

Thank you, thank you. Your comments make me think the task of unravelling cables will be all the more worth it.
