I scribbled a whole lot of calculations and worked out that I needed 54 pattern repeats. Right. So multiplied by 5, I needed 270 chain. Wrong. There should be 6 chains per pattern repeat, not 5. Hmm. This is not my first attempt at getting the foundation row right, I'm running out of oomph. I've decided to go with the reduced number of repeats. The top won't fit me, but the proportions will probably be better. I'm carrying on regardless:
Oh how disappointing! It's a very beautiful start!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAll this work and it might not fit? It's so, so pretty, that would be a real shame. I'm admiring how "early"yoy've caught it. Keep going! It's really beautiful
ReplyDeleteAww, it is too bad it might not fit you. But you can always give it as a gift. I hope the rest of it goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteArgghh! I wish I had been with you when you made the discovery. I can think of two ways to have corrected that without ripping out what you have already crocheted. Hopefully, one repeat short won't make it too small for you to wear. The pattern is going to be lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely work to view and the color to is a favorite of mine, it is true that the paperwork is not fun and yet has to be done! Some one will enjoy this work of art and hopefully you have a relative in mind :)
ReplyDeleteI usually find out that something won't fit when I'm half done, which is why I abandon so many projects. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWould your mojo be back if you laid off this for a while? Unless you have someone in mind for gifting.
ReplyDeleteYou got it. I probably will gift it, but I’m putting it aside for a bit because my tension is now so tight the shells are looking crowded.
DeleteI hope your mojo comes back and you can start again, hopefully correct this time
