bring january back I'm just starting to make forward progress with my january sweater and here it is February already!
Can you believe that I messed this up yet again?! I'd followed the shapings of the first pattern so many times already that I didn't quite catch the subtle difference in shaping of the new pattern - decrease on each edge 4 times every 6 rows vs. decrease on each edge 6 times every 4 rows. Whoops! I wasn't in the mood to rip it back again. So the waist shaping will just be a little more subtle. We'll see when I'm done with the front if I can live with it. And if I can't live with it, then hey, February is for fixing anyway, right? posted by alison at 8:04 am | in

I've decided to do my own kind of fixing in february. I can't think of anything to rip and reknit, so I'll give some old knits some TLC, and hope they'll last a little longer. Hope I can play along anyway... Posted by: Helene at February 2, 2005 10:17 AMoooh, but it looks nice! Posted by: tania at February 2, 2005 11:01 AMIt's crazy how fast January came and went. I can see how you got confused with all the 4's and 6's. Posted by: Vicki at February 2, 2005 11:16 AMOuch! The numbers are so similar that I had to read it twice to actually see what the difference was! You crazy fixer-upper! How many sweaters are you going to fix this month?! Posted by: Stacey at February 2, 2005 5:17 PMI have SO done that same thing. But it looks beautiful. Power of positive thinking. ;-) Posted by: Jenny at February 2, 2005 5:25 PMIt looks like it will work out - it doesn't look totally devoid of shaping. I think the color will be fantastic, too. It matches your blog nicely. Just like Picasso, you must be in your Blue Period! Or maybe I haven't been reading your blog long enough, and you only have a blue period. Can't wait to see how this sweater turns out! Posted by: Anne-Caroline at February 2, 2005 6:42 PMOh, oops,good job it is! But watch out,no more oopsies, as February is shorter!
