Shall I start again!?I am knitting the Handsome triangle shawl from VLT. I have done 80 rows!!
I was speeding merrily along , but with a bit of an uneasy feeling for the last 79 rows because ....
.... I have looked at it and realised that for the pattern to be defined as in the picture my first K2TOG on the knit row and my 2nd P2TOG on the purl row (in the leafy pattern repeats) should be through the back loops. I wondered why it wasn't looking as smooth!!! DOH! It is such an obvious thing. I could not find Errata for it, I did find errata for the edge stitches which I have done wrong too.
Shall I start again? I know its wrong now, but it is an awful lot of rows to rip .....

Are you happy wiht how it looks now? Will you be happy once it's blocked? Or are you alway going to notice the mistake? it's better to frog and restart if you're not going to be happy but if you're happy iwth it the way you've done it then keep going.

Aw no...what a bummer...but like you said once you know it's there it bugs like mad, a bit like the one obligatory upsidedown tile in the bathroom
