I finished (my) husband's cabled fingerless gloves (by Kimberly) yesterday afternoon and here is the final result on a model (he agreed to wear them for a photo but didn't want to stop working on his computer, well... ^-^).
I didn't notice it at the beginning but Robert started to closely analyse the pattern and he suddenly said "There's a mistake!" As you can see in the photo, I took two stitches on the cable needle and held it in front instead of the back of the glove!... I wanted to frog it and correct it immediately, but he said that's okay and it's not that visible after all. Well, I don't totally agree that it should stay like that unmended but I sooooo hate frogging... Fortunately it's not very visible on black, so I think I'll leave it for now.
Namely, inspired by the Festival Jacket by Beverly (she gave me the idea of mixing several totally different yarns and work with them on 20s) last night I decided to try my new 20 size needles and started a shawl called Swamp Witch from The Anticraft page. Here are the three yarns I chose: two fuzzy earthy colours and mercerized golden cotton. Although they look fabulous being next to each other, I'm not sure yet whether I like the result of them being blended into a scarf. My husband said that he liked the final colour mixture so maybe I'll finish this shawl and try in on, ad then decide if I should frog it or leave it.
I have had a look at the shawl/scarf and think it looks fab. But my guess is that the colours mixed produce a colour which is not one you would normally like/wear. So while what you are making is great it is not a colour you would normally make/knit??
I had the same problem with my KO project cape. While the finished garment is wonderful and gets lots of praise and comments from others I don't really like it. I hope it is accepted and sells!!
PS This method uses "lots" of yarn...!!! A great stash buster.
