Remember this project I was working on last week? Well...
I made it about halfway through before things went pear-shaped. Meaning, I incorrectly estimated the amount of yarn I had available. I incorrectly transferred a stitch. And then I dropped too many stitches to recover from the miscalculations.
This project taught me a few things. I learned I like to look of this lace pattern much more than I like hand-manipulating the stitches to make the lace. I may try slip-stitch designs next.
I also learned that while there is a bunch of yarn in a Caron Skinny Cake there isn't as much as I thought. I knit the project off the machine and need to wind it back up so I can try something new. Don't think that just because a project doesn't come out the way you wanted that it was a failure. This wasn't a a failure. It was a learning experience. Being an adult learner isn't easy but can be so rewarding. Go, make things. Make things. Make mistakes. Just make.
