SANDY'S FIX

Sandy Johnson knit a gorgeous Fiber Trend Lace Cardi for her granddaughter.
After blocking she found that one row had been knit on the wrong side by mistake.
This left a "garter ridge" on the front side. The error was on the right front of the BLACK lace cardigan!

Work commenced November 10, 2009.

HERE IS THE PATTERN

SANDY CONTEMPLATES..........

THE PHOTO ON ABOVE SHOWS THE "BEFORE"...AS YOU CAN SEE THE BLACK IS TOUGH TO WORK WITH. IT IS BEST TO USE A BRIGHT LIGHT, A WHITE BACKGROUND, AND STRONG MAGNIFYING GLASSES!

 YOU CAN JUST MAKE OUT THE BUMPS OF A GARTER RIDGE ALONG THE CENTER OF THE ZOOMED PHOTO ABOVE.
WE POKED, WE HMMMM'D...WE THOUGHT...THEN SANDY HAD A GREAT IDEA:
TAKE A CONTRASTING THREAD AND RUN IT ALONG THE ROW TO SEE IT!
WONDERFUL!!!

THIS IS THE ROW WITH A STRAND OF SIZE 10 CROCHET COTTON RUN THROUGH THE ROW EXACTLY WHERE THE BLACK WENT USING A DARNING NEEDLE.
(F.Y.I. QUILTING THREAD WAS TOO SMALL....)

HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF THE THREAD RUN THROUGH WITH A DARNING NEEDLE FOLLOWING EXACTLY THE LINE OF THE BLACK YARN.

HERE IS THE ROW WITH THE WRONG BLACK ROW PICKED OUT!
I WENT VERY SLOW TO MAKE SURE I HAD GOTTEN ALL THE STITCHES ATTACHED WITH THE CROCHET COTTON THREAD.

A CLOSE-UP VIEW OF THE ROW WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK TAKEN OUT
AND THE CROCHET COTTON "LIFE-LINE" IN!

FINALLY! HERE IS THE FIXED ROW! I RE-RAN A NEW PIECE OF BLACK YARN ALONG WHERE THE CROCHET COTTON WAS, FIXING THE GARTER LINE AS I WENT AND TAKING THE CROCHET COTTON OUT JUST A FEW ROWS BEHIND TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO ERRORS!
