Lo0ok perfect!

Martha has just decided she wants the MM Paisley I had earmarked for this so I may have to wait for my next co-op order to turn up. Or I might do it in Squawked, which I actually bought for her but she doesn't like!

I've just cast on in a plain purple colour. I don't think there's enough to do the big size so i'll probably just knit until it runs out and end with a garter section.

:doh: :doh: did I listen to you all about putting a lifeline in? NO (well yes actually but didn't get around to it)
Did I just pick up my knitting after weeks and weeks and proceed to knit in the wrong direction? YES :x

I don't know what to do if I'm capable of going back without killing it! :panic: what a doofus :doh:

How's anyone else doing one going?!

Oh noooo :hug: Probably the easiest way is to 'unknit' one stitch at at a time. Or depending on which section you are on you could thread another needle through the stitches on one of the stocking stitch or garter stitch sections (before you take the working needle out) and frog down to there

Mine is finished but still nneds the ends weaving in and to be blocked (i've got a great big basket of things in the same state, i don't like finishing off lol)

Thanks Ali @babyroo I have been brave and just ripped back then picked up the stitches on a needle :oops: it has worked thank goodness and I now have a safety line in! I love your idea of inserting a needle in but tbh I don't understand the wool enough to know where to put the needle in the right place :oops:
