The scarf is looking beautiful! The mistake is hardly noticeable. And I don't think your Gramma will even see it. Unless you point it out to her.

Interesting swatch. Love the texture you're creating.

The schematic art is too cool. Can't wait to see more.

I don't see any mistakes! Plus, isn't there some saying about leaving one mistake in a knit? some folksy thing like that...
I think the purple is really stunning - so rich. Thanks for being a part of this month's PS even when you don't like it. (Next month is neutrals and black and white though! you like those, right?)

I love those schematic embroideries. The concept and juxtaposition is just so appealing to me. Great piece, J.

Have a good weekend~

It's not a mistake, it's a design alteration, and yes, that Misti alpaca yarn is yummy to work with too. I love the yarns and textures in the swatch - any hints on what the yarns are, or will that give too much away?

I really like that art piece, too; great combo of traditional feminine work with the masculine world of work and machinery.

It took me a good long time to see the error but it's really not that noticeable. There are bigger things in life to worry about, I say. Generally, I think it's interesting that you have a non traditional style in dress and artwork, but use traditional lace and cables in your knitting.

Ooo, art on old sheets. Neat!
Hey, mistakes don't usually show up on scarves show up when worn, and I doubt your granny is going to go hunting. Lolly is right on about the history/lore of knitting in a mistake...and I'm a big fan of the practice of letting go of perfection.
Can you say what kind of yarn you are swatching with? It looks interesting.

Can you share what the yarn is on your secret project???

Seeing a few bits of embroidery & cross-stitch on the knitblogs lately, makes me think the "needlework revolution" is really going full swing.

I think design alteration is a much better way to look at it, and scarves as a rule don't bear close inspection anyways!

Your embroidered pictures are wonderful - the juxtaposition of 'home' and 'work' is fantastic.

There are worse colors than purple. Barf Orange, for example.

That embroidery is really cool - I love pillowcases and old sheets. I need to go thrifting and try to find some for sewing adventures.

yes, what is the mystery yarn? It's so shiny and pretty.

And also - where is your new place? I know the street but not the location ON the street.

The schematic thingy is wicked cool.

(Is that the proper phrase? "Schematic thingy"? And did I really just say "wicked cool"? Ugh.)

yeah, i`m into the art too.

i had to look at the purple knitting for a good few moments (thinking *what does this say about me as a knitter? am i not truely a knitter if i can`t find this error?*) before i finally noticed. how unimportant the mistake really is - last christmas i gave my mum one of rachel`s hot water bottle cozies and two cables in i crossed in the front instead of the back. the mistake may glare at my, but my mum doesn`t even notice (or so she says).

geez, you and your mysterious designs....

I love the embroidered drawing. I've been thinking of doing something very similar with technical drawings from various manuals, but I need to get my embroidery skills up to speed, first!

I have a friend who is a medical illustrator, and I've been trying to talk him into simplifying some of his work for me so I can embroider it, but the deal is that I have to embroider some curtains for him first. Yes he's gay.

As a former engineering student, I totally love the schematic embroidery!!!
