Unlucky

Somewhere between “decrease every row” and “decrease every other row” I got lost. When you put down a project for a few days and try to come back to it, it’s easy to forget where you were and what you were supposed to be doing…the result? My unlucky cardi right front:

Yeah, I screwed up the decreases on the front edge of the right front piece. Yeah, I’m going to frog the entire thing. Ah, but captured here is the sheer ugliness of unblocked cotton. Lumpy, bumpy and ugly.

Thankfully, this ugly, splitty cotton (Elann’s Endless Summer Lara) blocks out beautifully into a smooth fabric. There are a few mistakes on the back piece too — I missed one of the “leaves” in a clover leaf motif and at one point, I misaligned the row of motifs thereby altering the alignment of all future motifs. Whatever. You can’t tell from the photo, right? Right, so I’m not re-knitting it.
