Twenty- Seven Inches and Counting

I am still working away at the My Favourite Things cowl:

I was looking over my projects on Ravelry and realized that almost everything I have going is fingering-weight. No wonder I love this project; knitting in worsted-weight goes so quickly! The pattern says to knit about 60 inches, so I'm almost halfway done.

I am especially happy with the coffee cups because I designed that motif myself using nothing but a pencil and graph paper. That's the good news. The bad news? There's a mistake in the knitting. Can you see it? Let me know. I may have to do some fixing.

Don't forget to join up with Nicole as part of Keep Calm Craft On today.

    I can see it but only because you said there was one there so I went looking for it :)

    You could easily just over stitch them at the end instead of frogging though.

    I see it, but I don't know that I would rip out because of that. I guess it depends on how much it bothers YOU.

    The coffee cups are ADORABLE. Good job on the designing.

    Oh I love this!

    And since you mentioned it, I actually looked for the mistake - but until then, didn't notice it. I'd be inclined to not worry about it. But maybe that is just me ...

    I love it and I wouldn't rip it (but that is just me). It was just life at that moment ; ).

    Noooooo! I'd stitch over that rather than frog. In fact, I'd leave it myself, but I like a bit of imperfection. I love the cowl, regardless!

    I saw it when I looked back to find it, and I agree, don't frog, just duplicate st at the end.

    Gorgeous! It took some intense scrutiny but there's a bit of a pink stripe on one of those coffee cups. I like it though!

    I never would have seen the mistake if you hadn't said there was one. I love the pattern!

    This is absolutely lovely! The coffee cups are amazing! I do see the little mistake, but I don't think it needs fixing. It will just be unique.

    I think it's gorgeous and don't think it needs fixing at all. When it is round your neck not one person will see it.

    I see it but who cares. Hide that part in the back. This cowl is too amazing to rip back now !

    Those coffee cups are so cool! Well done. Um, I do see the mistake, but ONLY because you told me to look for it ...

    "mistake" is a subjective term, in my opinion. I see nothing here that would worry me enough to rip out all that beautiful colourwork :)
