My goal for this weekend was to finish the back piece of Hubby's Andoa Pullover. It's done. I am already 10 rows into the bottom ribbing on the front piece.I did make a mistake on this back piece. Can you find it? It's on the lower right side...half a row of that pattern stitch is incorrect. I almost ripped out the sweater, if it were not for Hubby talking me out of it. "It's the back piece, and only half a row. Who's gonna see it?" I guess if Hubby doesn't care about a half a row mistake, why should I? I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my knitting. Ok, anything crafty.
Well, I am pleased to have the back piece done. Now I just have to knit through the entire front piece...another 27 inches of pattern repeats. I just need to stay motivated. I am dying to knit something new. You know, the whole start-itis? I am finding the whole knitting with black not so bad. I figured that I would have a hard time with the one color. I like the black. I may eventually knit myself a black sweater. Hmmmm...? Well, eventually...like I have any time to do that now. Holiday knits are still ruling my knitting...

I know exactly what you mean! My LYS owner talked me out of tinking back 4 rows to make a decrease that I forgot. She said, "Just make it now, who will notice?" I mean, it's a baby's hat.
But I don't know how you can stand knitting in black, I hate it. Even though most of my clothes are black. I guess knitting has inspired me to add color to my wardrobe.
Besides, grey is the new black!
I am glad that you didn't frog back to the mistake - the best part of hand knits are the things that set them apart from the things you can buy at the store. And for such a small mistake, you can put a tag on it like you would find on a really expensive t-shirt, that says - "texture, holes, and slubs,( and mistakes) are part of the character of the item not a fault."
I love knitting with black! It just has a bad rap - I am posting my black hat tomorrow!
Have a great week!
