My progress so far on the baptismal gown is going well for this beginner; the gown is measuring 8 inches of the 13.5 inches before working the edging. I've had to take out two of the pattern rows so far to correct a mistake.
Any suggestions on how to fix mistakes? Basically, I just worked in reverse, undoing my stitches. Not sure if that's the best way or not.
I'm reading through "A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms", a Christmas present to myself. Been feeling that I need some extra encouragement in my vocation of motherhood.
Side note: the mug pictured was given to me on Mother's Day by my oldest. They go to Goodwill and each pick out a mug for me. I enjoy different coffee mugs and I love how the ones they pick out reflect their personality.

The gown looks lovely! Working back is the best thing I have found. In time (if you haven't already) you will learn to "read" the knitting and know what stitch should go where the mistake is. But... I find that reading the knitting depends on the pattern, and it's harder with lace than with other things!
ReplyDeleteWow, the gown is coming out really well for a beginner! I am a beginner and if I make a mistake I have to rip the whole thing out lol. Thanks for sharing. Tricia@ Crunchycatholicmomma.blogspot
ReplyDeleteThat's an ambitious project! But will be great when it's done; knitted baptismal gowns are so beautiful.
