If you have to knit it again-use a new area of yarn; you will like the results better.

And then it's not necessarily good. Right now, I am in the process of ripping back many many many rows because I forgot to decrease enough. I am purposely making myself do only a few rows each day.<br /><br />But UGH!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641404632001445083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032307225540121813.post-89867613205295980292016-02-23T22:03:08.444-08:002016-02-23T22:03:08.444-08:00Yes.
