I was seriously in need of some mindless knitting over the
weekend. So I picked up my long lost but not forgotten Ingenue.
I had finished the collar and raglan shaping for the arms
and was ready for the body, which includes some pretty straightforward waist
shaping.
Somehow I missed the line that read do 10 rows straight
before the waist shaping. It was after about 20 rows that I realized my mistake
thinking, “Wow that waist shaping is pretty high….” I mentioned I was in need
of some mindless knitting right?
So I needed to erase 20 rows to get to the pleasure of 10
straight rows.
Do you rip back boldly with no fear of picking up those live
stiches?
Or do you slowly and methodically tink (knit backwards) meaning to take the stiches out
one by one- embracing the meditative process- no murmuring allowed…?
Me – I tinked the thing because there is mohair in this yarn
and it wants to catch and knot when pulled. I confess to just a little murmuring.
Do you have a "mindless" knitting project on hand that you can pick up when that mindless knitting mood strikes?
