Happiness and frustation...

I can't tell you how excited I am with my cardigan porject...

It had grown nicely, steady and pretty... VEEERY pretty!!!

You can clearly see all the stitches and the patterns are defined. I have 7 stitch patterns going on at the same time, so it's a major challenge for me that I'm not really a knitter. Although after this one I might consider myself one!!

I go to the sleeve and worked succesfully on it... (the growing part to the right)

And since the body is worked in short rows respect to the neckline, it actually makes the neckline to be a LOT smaller and have considerable few rows than the body, which makes it to curve which in consequence make the cardigan to shape itself without really shapeing...

I've been working on it for 3 weeks and I'm very happy with it... right now I'm more than half way to the back...

But today... I realized that I've made a HUGE mistake!!!!
I can't understad how or why but I increased in 3 different rows in ths same place, resulting in 3 extra stitches along one of the patterns, and an extra stitch marker on my needle that I ab-so-lu-te-ly cannot remember puting....

And I've knitted 16 rows when I realized it!!!!!!!! can you imagine!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

I'm so in shock!

I was at the Yarn shop, so we took those stitches out in an attempt of seeing if we could hide the extra yarn behind somehow, but I think there's no good choice...

I will have to rip off those 16 rows!!! I'm scared.
I don't want to take it back one stitch at a time but ripping off 16 rows of different stitch patterns is just painful!!!
I don't know how to explain it, but I'm sure you understand...

I'm off now... MG just got home, plus we are getting down with a cold, he's worse than me but I'm afraid I'll get there too... headache.
I'll rest with a movie...

See you soon!
