There is about 1.5" around the top neck that is way too hight to turn into a regular neckband. If I wanted it to morph into a polo collar I could probably make it work, but I don't.
So, What's Wannietta Knitting Today? She will unpick the top 2.5" of the seams (which I finished so I have to dig out the ends), rip out, figure out WTF I am, make note of this desolate, lonely place on my pattern and make some hand calculations. Then re-knit the tops of the pieces as required and work out the neckband.
I was also annoyed that the sleeves had more rows than the body in the raglan. No, I didn't notice it when I was knitting it - shut up! I will make that change to the pattern as well.
I will spare you the graphic horror. I want you all to be able to eat & sleep tonight.
On a much happier note I will share with you that I love appliances. Especially labour-saving ones. My dishwasher is at the top of that list followed by my slow cooker and breadmaker. There is now however, a new teacher's pet. The Self-Cleaning Oven!!! Bumm-ba-da daaaa Cleaning an oven ranks very low on my
priority list - which is never in writing. It could fall into the wrong hands and then require follow-through. I have never had a Self-Cleaning Oven and really didn't think that it could possibly work, especially at the stage where I decide that the oven actually requires cleaning. There is no Before picture, but just use your imagination. Or if you watch the Food Network, picture any of the most un-cleaned ovens ever shown on Restaurant Makeover. Then, after 3 hours of knitterly supervision, I have this!! With I think that I will just have to clean my oven more often; while I wash the dishes, make dinner (including fresh bread), do laundry and knit.
Isn't that cool? I can't remember whose blog I saw it on, but you can do yours here. I'm off then - to Troubleshoot & Assassinate that sweater.
I LOVE self-cleaning ovens. All you have to do is sweep the grey ash out!
ReplyDeleteWell, I know for a fact you are an expert at ripping knitting out so it can be repaired ... Have faith. It's a pain in the ass, I know, but you can do it! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteI looooove my self-cleaning oven too. It's the best thing since sliced bread ...
Okay, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm jealous of your oven. Looks so sparkly.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your raglan. I've been there, I sympathize. Unfortunately for me, it has happened one too many times and my teeth are a little worn down from gritting them. [wink]
I live in an apartment. I'm not allowed to have cool appliances :(
ReplyDeleteHave fun assisinating your sweater!
Okay...I've got to go find my oven manual. It is self-cleaning, but I also thought it was a gimmick and NEVER tried it. Well all that is going to chnage tonight baybee!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip ;0)
Tee hee. I made one too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending me the instructions. I received them today.
LOL, I thought I was the only one who loved my self-cleaning oven enough to marry it!!!
