>> Hi Terry and all,
>>
>> Oh Terry I do so feel for you, having to take apart your scarf!. a
>> similar catastrophe happened to me last night.
>> I brought my lacy shawl to a friend to sew on the clasp and found out
>> that I had knitted part of it in T and Q denim and the other half in T
>> and Q denim twist! The company apparently gave me skeins of different
>> colors, for I had ordered three of all the same color! I was so
>> depressed, I figure it must look weird though my friend said that it
>> did not.
>>
>> If that wasn't bad enough, I went home after that and bound off my
>> other shawl for my mum using the pearl bind off method and it worked
>> beautifully.
>> So I then checked my cast-on row to see if the two edges looked the
>> same, only to find that the middle of my cast-on row was coming apart!
>> I tried to fix it, spent hours trying. Tanya said that she did not
>> know what to do.
>> so
>> I took the entire piece apart. 18" by 60".  I wanted to cry and did a
>> little. Still haven't done anything about the shawl in two different
>> colors yet.
>>
>> So I feel your pain with your scarf. You are not alone!
>>
>> Cathy

>> Just like Debbie and her latch hook project and having to do the first

>> how to cast off and for some reason, I am having trouble doing it on
>> the flexie loom.  After our chat, on Monday, Tonya and I went through
>> the first few steps.  some how, I must have done a stitch wrong,
>> because when I went to do the last step, last night, I found 2 loops
>> on one of my pegs.  Now what should I do???  I finally knitted it off
>> and finished the last step, but it looks a mess.  something must have
>> gone wrong.  Guess we should never have done it so late at night.
>>
>> I made a small sample to try again so I will get it right.  I am not
>> going to risk another scarf, this way!  I want my multi to come out, 
>> beautiful!
>> At least I have 3 months to work.  I did not ruin it the day before
>> the show.
>>
>> It still hurts, all the work that went into that scarf.  It just makes
>> you want to cry!
