When things go wrong

I was busy working on my blanket and for some reason 
The stitch number just wouldn’t work. 
I was stumped.  I’d check the pattern at the start and it was working fine 

It was then I check the whole thing and saw about half way something was wrong 

So I undid a few rows and counted. 
Nope not right 


I undid a few more rows and I found it. 
But now it was hard to work out where I was in the pattern. 

So I found the last “square “ that looked correct and pulled all the rows to that point. 
Then I worked each row from there. 



And thank goodness it worked. 
I had to take a few deep breaths 
And calm myself down 




But I have fixed the issue without having to rip the whole thing out 
It’s all fun and games until something goes wrong

  1. Oh boy. Not a mindless bit of crochet! Lucky you could rip it out easily, unlike knitting.
    Good luck with the rest

    1. Oh yes. Trying to add all those stitches back without losing any drives me bonkers
      Just another reason I love crochet

  2. This is why I love crochet. Knitting would have ended up in the bin. Well done for finding and fixing the problem.

  3. Sounds like a 'skating' hat i knitted recently. Garter stitch. Starts at a centre back seam and the rows go up and down the hat. Should have been simple. By the time I'd pulled stuff out and reknitted at least three times, I should have knitted 2 of the beasts.
