So true...
OK, so as you know knitting is another one of my hobbies. Am I good at it? HARDLY! and this post will prove it :) Lets just say I can knit and purl and that's about it.
So after my first successful attempt at My first knitted t-shirt, I picked a slightly more advanced project:
Sahara by Stitch Diva Studios

Which is all good but never did I realize that in a span of just 5 minutes it's possible to:
a) start knitting from flat into round
b) start doing short rows
AND
c) drop a stitch and then created a knotty stitch while trying to fix it.
Of course I didn't realize I did all those things until I took it to the doctors... aka Emily.
Oh what a life saver. Not only did she fix all the things I managed to do wrong, she also showed me what it looks like and basically saved the project.
Moral of the story... Make mistakes and then LEARN from them. Of course verdict is still out whether or not I LEARNT from mine ;-) I still managed to mess things up at her house yesterday but so far so good...

Awww, I'm famous! :) The top is going to be gorgeous!
I know you will learn from them- you already have :-) That does not mean you won't make the mistake again though (that's coming from someone who's become pretty good at un-knitting, lol!) I love that color, it will look awesome on you.
Deepika...I can't wait to see your creation. I love the yarn (color and texture) you are using. You're doing great...Susan
Birgitte, thanks for the vote of confidence. I think I messed up the armholes too. I made them too big but I think I'll wear a cami under this anyway so it wont matter that much.
The yarn is Cascade Pima Tencel. its the softest cotton yarn I've ever seen and touched. I love it!
this is going to be soooo gorgeous. I love my Simple Knitted Bodice which is knitted using the same principles!
Thanks Tini, I am knitting an emergency project right now so Sahara is on hold. I am knitting the 5-hour baby sweater for someone I am seeing next week.
