I was crusin' along all kinds of excited while working on the Beast. Why was I excited? I'd finally reached the BLUES!!! WOOT! Thats like...so beyond close to the end it's not even funny. I'm 3 squares from the end of the first blue row and I think to myself "hmmm...something looks funny"....
I pull up my color chart...nope, everythings in line there, all crossed off, supposed to be on this row...
I look at my stack of yarn to use, all good....
I open the closet. Count skeins...waiiiit a minute....theres 3 extra greys...that's strange...
hmm, oh well, moving on.
I sit down, and start crusin' along again. then I look down....
There's supposed to be a row with a strand of grey and brown, a row with 2 strands of grey, then a row with a strand of grey and blue....
one's missing. it's the grey/grey...I've ALMOST FINISHED the grey/blue...That's 700 yards worth of work.....
I threw it down and walked away.
I immediately came back and ripped the whole row out. It's not like its a missed slip stitch, or a woopsed purl, its a 4.5inch row of THE WRONG COLOR. It's so glaring I don't know how I missed it....
Suffice it to say I am now nearly done with the grey/grey row. 6 blocks to go.
Now, here's the question...do those wrong blocks count towards the 2 blocks/night goal? I think so.... mostly because I don't want to be back over 60 days behind...
but also because I'm so over this blanket I'm considering letting the dog just have the stupid thing....
On a more positive note it stopped raining for almost 2 whole minutes today. yee haw!!
Prayers to all those in Joplin who were hit by the tornado.
I feel for you over the beast "oopsie." That has got to be the worst feeling for a project that large. But at least you're almost back where you started before you noticed the problem! And I think the squares count. Because you still did them, they were just not in pattern and had to be ripped back.
