Hubris, Thy Name is Tussah Silk
Dammit, dammit, dammit.I was so proud of myself. I'd taken my handspun tussah silk, doubled it up, and knit myself a really pretty pair of cabled armwarmers.
Unfortunately, I realized that as I wove in the ends, that I'd miscrossed a cable on the right hand. Here, let me show you on the left.
So not worth ripping back to fix. So, I made the other glove, fixed the seven quadrillion errors I made along the way with that and had two finished armwarmers.
But... but... miscrossed cable!
Experience has taught me that any flaws in anything that I make will haunt me EVERY TIME I WEAR IT. I would really like these gloves to last for a good long time. So, I did the only logical thing one could do. I ripped it out from the bottom.
Bad idea.
For some reason, this is not a problem with stockinette. I've done it before with provisional cast ons and never had an issue. But throw in some ribbing and suddenly, every stitch has to detangled from the last. It's not ripping, it's not even tinking, it's just a huge pain. And I highly doubt it'll look right when I'm done.
So, I guess I get to reknit this one. I think this'll be the... fourth, fifth time/ that I've knit this armwarmer.
