[Nfb-krafters-korner] Doing it wrong

[Sarah Sykes]

Terry P.,

I can identify. Last week I ripped out all of the three fourths
completed shawl I was knitting because "something" had gone horribly
wrong with either my math, my ability to follow the pattern, or maybe
the pattern itself had an error. I still haven't figured out which.  I
ended up just changing patterns. As it turns out, I like this one
better. Just about to bind off on it. I will post pics and a blog
entry on my website about it and share the link here for anyone
interested to hear more.

I am trying to learn 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.
