I have started a knitting project with circular needle, well circular bamboo needle to be exact. It does not lead to my first error:
Yes, I did it: an basic error in ribbing! It almost can be seen as an debutant error. I knit 4 stiches on the same side, not alternating 2 stiches right and 2 stitches on the other side. It is a bit embarassing error because I did that kind of pattern of alternating stiches on a regular basis. This is why I say it could pass as a debutant error.
The second error I did was a bit more excusable because it was my first try at cable stitch. I knew how to do cable on a theoric level. No practice to complement the knowledge. In addition of that error, I made another error: not reading the instruction right. I thought it was as another part of the pattern of the row:
I thought I should go on at first but I am on the fence. Now that I have two big mistakes, I think it may be time to go back and unravel. All that to make it right. Well, it is all on learning the concrete and practical side of the theory. There is also the part that what I had done wrong was pretty compact. Really, I am learning of this! I feel bad that to learn, I have to make this kind of mistake. I should be more careful and more looking more carefully at the instruction.
Of course, I will not reppeat this error twice. It prove that I can makes mistakes and it is not always fun to do them. The learning is there but it is painful to know that there is two mistakes. I see it and I know about them. It bugs me. On one side, I want to repair my error and on the other side, I want a little reminder that I made two mistakes and I do not want to repeat them.
