I miscrossed cables twelve rows back in this yoke and had to undo cables and short rows so now I don't know where I am in my knitting. It needs a time out. I still think we should post one of our epic fails so that beginners will know that even experienced knitter's make mistakes. #knitsky
As a non-knitter software engineer, your post is stressing me out.
It's easy to explain. Knitting is just straight lines. That piece looks curved because I have extra straight lines stacked in between and an arc is merely straight lines intersecting at points. A cable is a straight line with (in this case four) stitches knit out of straight line order.
There are so many knitters that love STEM fields. Knit designers are often engineers, programmers and mathematicians. Welcome to our lair. Come in. Itβs very cozy.
This is beautiful work! (And, don't we all need a time out occasionally π)
When it's ready to come out of time-out and be finished, it will be glorious! I agree about making mistakes. I'm especially prone to them if I knit while too tired or try to knit something too complicated while watching t.v.
Well, crap. Yes, we all fail. I can't post my last fail, as I frogged the whole nearly complete body of a sweater, after realizing I misread the pattern and it was all off kilter. The balls of said yarn are in time out along with that pattern. I have been knitting 40+ years. Ugh
Great idea!
Itβs a lovely piece. I hope you recover from the frustration soon.
