I cast on for Leo's hat on Sunday--another earflap hat by the same designer, tiennie knits--pattern is here, though I changed the design motif. I am on the last few rounds of the Fair Isle--and I just noticed a hiccup in my stitches, causing subsequent rows to be off by one stitch.
This photo does not highlight the error--but trust me, it's there.
I am not ripping and correcting because even though I care very, very much--Leo doesn't. And he wants his hat! He is so sweet, helping me when I started by asking if he could be in charge of keeping the strands untwisted. In truth, he mostly got everything tangled. But it's a small price to pay to have him sit next to me for a bit, chatting away.
I will post more pictures when it's completed. I'm not sure I can bring myself to showcase the error. But then again, maybe it's a good lesson for me: Fair Isle at night, in the dim light, while watching tv--not there yet.
