Clapotis Surgery

May 18, 2008

This is the second post for today, i just didn't think it would be good to add this onto the end of the last post (if you read it you know why). As you may know I've been working on my first clapotis and i realized that the last row i did i was distracted by the baby and my dad. When i went to do the next row today i noticed that there was a large part of the row in the middle with purls instead of knits (i was on a wrong side row in which you work purl all the way through). This is something that happens to me sometimes when i feel to comfortable in purl and let myself get distracted.



Pulling it off the needles and frogging down a row would be out of the question because i would totally loose track of where my stitch markers go. After a bit of "hmm-ing" and "hah-ing" over it I decided the best thing to do would be to slip over to the stitches (i am already working on cables so i didn't need to bring in reinforcements), drop them individually and use a crochet hook to fix them... one by one. There were roughly 47 stitches to fix. Took me a little while but it was a success. Right now i'm on the last set of increase stitches, which i am greatful for. I really want to get started on the body of it and see some of the drops so it feels like i am actually making progress.
