It's growing...spot the mistake?




What is it they say on those items from abroad that are not necessarily perfect.. . the imperfections are part of the handmade charm of this item ?

All I can say is I made a real howler of a mistake but am considering allowing it to remain and ensure my string bag is full of charm....



UPDATE

Completed the bag ...didn't get the handles to match for size....didn't master Kitchener stitch either...but completed the project and it's usable.
It's been aquire by younger daughter for teddy transportation :0)

  1. No..you've got me...I can't see the mistake. You need to add a great big arrow to the picture for me to spot it.

    You've done lots. I love the way the yarn pattern is knitting up.

  2. the first 4 inches or so are back to front..I think I purled two rows ??? by mistake and it turned the pattern over...only by the time I noticed I hadn't the heart to restart..lol
    It is a lovely pattern isn't it and I think...I'm speeding up

  4. I see what you mean about small Jude... I made a complete pigs ear of the top and handles ..well actually I was ok on one side and ok on the other but they were different sizes..oops! (also failed to graft the handle according to the pattern)still it's able to carry a teddy and has been appropriated by the teddies owner :0)

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
