Now, this one seems to have dropped below the radar altogether (not sure how, but oh well.)
This is what it looked like when I finished it. As you can see it is a trifle long, but DH insisted that this was the exact length that he wanted it....
And in his defence, he is not a short person... but..... Lets just say that it wasn't worn, and he was too embarrassed to come clean. Well, I allowed him to stew for a bit and took the offending article back and set to work. I first established exactly which bits of the pattern weren't his favourites and then I began to unpick. I unpicked in between 2 grey rows below the offending bits of pattern and picked up the stitches on the bottom row as I went. I then repeated this procedure above the pattern, again picking up stitches as I went, this time, on the row above the unpick. I then then, in an act of unsurpassed heroism and courage never before witnessed in this household Kitchener Stitched the 2 rows together!
It now looks like this!
Ta Da! Can you see the join?According to DH I am a truly talented individual, after succeeding with this, I wouldn't go that far, but I would say that Kitchener Stitch no longer holds any fear for me.....
And the bit in the middle? Popped carefully to one side to be transformed into fingerless mitts for #1Son for next Autumn.
