Now, don’t tell me NONE of you spotted the mistake on my Peacock Shawl!! I’m sure you were trying to be nice and not say anything, but…
I changed the picture — no one could figure it out!
A misplaced yarnover, WAY-Y-Y back there! The point of a lifeline is to make sure there are NO MISTAKES before the lifeline is placed! I think it’s a really good idea to photograph these things — I did not the spot the mistake otherwise. However, once you know it’s there, what are ya gonna do? Oh well, a few days knitting on this end and a glaring mistake averted — well worth it.
Wait, I can’t quite see it with the red circle and arrows — is it an extra YO? If it were me, I would try to sew it shut, but since I’ve never knit a lace shawl I don’t know how bad the fix would look. Maybe even worse? Well, you’re the expert.

I didn’t notice it until you pointed it out. I’m surprised you didn’t catch it on the next row. That sucks. Sorry!

Susan- Oh crap- I didn’t notice it, but you did. Better now than later.
Another advantage to blogging. A nice person noticed that my cables were wrong
on Kilkenny and I was so grateful she pointed it out.
Mistakes have a way of haunting you.

You’re a stronger woman than I am! That’s one of those mistakes I would have happily ignored!

From Susan — I thought of ignoring it, but decided to bite the yarnover, take my medicine, and be happier in the long run! I’ll have the shawl for a lifetime — what’s a few more days of knitting?
