I'd worked for HOURS on it - I'm sure that you can imagine my frustration. It's now hiding away until I can bring myself to unpick a thousand and one stitches(maybe a slight exaggeration).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845451731282180142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-21627587881888189542010-12-12T16:11:02.154+00:002010-12-12T16:11:02.154+00:00It only looks like one square to me too - would it...It only looks like one square to me too - would it be a huge job to just unpick it and turn it? I freely admit I know sod all about crochet so the answer to my question is probably a resounding yes! <br /><br />Anyway, I like a slight quirk in a pattern so I think it will look just perfect :)Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337968500120821387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-81962674550793273542010-12-12T13:11:22.925+00:002010-12-12T13:11:22.925+00:00I love your blanket!

If I had taken such time and trouble to make a lovely blanket like that, then I would want it to be as near perfect as I could make it and would laboriously unpick it. I would then get fed up half way through, shove it in a cupboard where it would fester and bug me until I had to get it out and finish the job properly. But that's me... not a perfectionist at all, nothing I make is Perfect, but I do my best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-48107976828292831462010-12-12T10:26:37.956+00:002010-12-12T10:26:37.956+00:00Every crochet blanket that I've made has a mis...Every crochet blanket that I've made has a mistake in it. Not because I'm Amish, but because mistakes happen, and it's crap and infuriating but then at the end of the day, the blanket still works, right? And your mum's going to love it anyway, despite having one square the other way around, because you've MADE IT for her. <br />xxxHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247251443526399043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-9256100474413959782010-12-12T10:12:27.078+00:002010-12-12T10:12:27.078+00:00I can only see one square that's the wrong way...I can only see one square that's the wrong way if that makes you feel any better?<br /><br />That's such a good little fact to know ... but is it just me that thinks the Amish are being a bit cheeky saying "no-one's perfect but God (but we have to put DELIBERATE mistakes in our quilts, because we are perfect really)" - a bit like when people describe themselves as modest .. Oh so you didn't really mean it when you said you're not that clever/pretty/funny?<br /><br />Am I an old cynic?!Lucy in the Cloudshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950976124841220605noreply@blogger.com
