joexnzAs you know I am knitting Vertices Unite, now up to the third section.
This section is one colour, the others are stripped. It’s the fifth colour, and the only block of this colour. I saved a ball of Rowan fine tweed in darkest navy (it probably has some posh name) and now I have.......
A section that is darker than the rest, I am somewhat reminded of the monolith.
A section that is larger than the ball I have for it.
Also its slightly puckered, because I picked up slightly to many stitches along the edge.
What to do
Well firstly I’m thinking it’ll need undoing.
To undo a piece of knitting you can use one of two puns.
Tink, which is literally knitting backwards. You slip the needle in the stitch underneath and pull the one above off. Reversing the action taken to make the stitch.
Frogging, where you pull the needles out and pull the yarn to pull the stitches out by ripping them back. Rip it, rip it, is the noise a frog makes. Knitters you can see are up with gamers for bad puns.
Secondly, a choice, do I stripe it with one of the colours. Do I get another colour out, this would be the preferable option. Except on examination of the relevant size of yarn, I have one ball that is not enough to make socks with. Its not in the right colour palette though.
Tricky…..
