Rip it back is the best thing to do. Use a safety line every 10 rows, that way the furthest you have to frog it is 10 rows. Let me know if you want me to explain how to do it xxx

I think if you chose to rip it back, you would be able to figure out how to put it back on the needles. Because then you would only need to back out one or two rows stitch by stitch. However, just leave it there nobody knows it’s there. You’re going to forget it’s there. You’ll just pick it up and wear it like you do any other shawl. I have made that exact same mistake in that pattern sequence down the middle of a Shawl usually because I forgot the Yarn over. It will be gorgeous no matter what you decide.

Loving your podcast❤️😀regards from Iceland

I love the secret test knit suspense and I have a bet with my husband what it is.

Sorry am frog it😐

Since you are waffling about the mistake, you will not be happy with it.

I think you should frog it - I would have no choice but to do that. If it’s a two skein shawl, and you aren’t even one skein into it yet, then there is still a lot of knitting to do. Fix it now while you can, otherwise I think you’ll regret it … and it’s lovely yarn.

You could make a mistake every few inches on either side of the spine so that it'll look like tree branches! I think that would look even better!

Suzanne Bryan on TH-cam has many videos . I believe she has one on how to drop-down and fix lace in knitting

Team frog it

🐸 once I’ve thought it I know I have to, most times I keep going for a bit and always ask myself why

Martyn, I can understand that you want to fix the mistake of the shawl. If you rip it please start again. The yarn is gorgeous and the pattern too. I knitted two of them (one with a fingering yarn and one with an aran yarn) and I absolutely love both,

being belgian, I had never heard of welsh cakes. well, I made some this morning and they were very nice, nutritious and such a quick bake! thanks for introducing us to this traditional welsh treat!

Either tink back stitch by stitch or frog back before the mistake in a row where there are NO increases? But thread a lifeline through first. As long as that mistake doesn't upset the stitch count? Just leave it and plough on. Are the Welsh hearts not cooked? Dont put completion time constraints on yourself. Just record when you can. Life gets in the way. We will be still here. ❤

I have the Toft quarterly in my basket ready for payday and I'm desperate to make a frog bag but can't decide which colour to do 😅 maybe I'll just have to raid my stash once I've moved 😂 and I totally get the child in a sweetshop feeling at yarn shows too. Also its kintsugi - Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. If you feel you still like the shawl and would still like it in that yarn then I would frog and start over, this is why my knitting is so slow, unless I have a lifeline in then I start over. I tried fixing the strawberry lemonade shawl and completely failed so I started over a third time...

I think personally I would frog it. I started a project and made an error and like you I put it away, love the yarn so I frog 🐸 it. Good luck with Maurice. I hope the wedding went well. Hugs to you both ❤❤❤

Happy Pride Month to you and Mark. You are making a real difference!

Team Frog iiit😊 here.

There was a reason that you stopped the project. Trust your gut that you didn’t want to finish. I am a great fan of frogging projects that I am not happy with. All those silent WIPS are fogging your brain and reducing the fun of crafting. I frog and never look back!

Frog it immediately. You will be so relieved!

The wool is lovely and great for that shawl pattern. Undo it and start again - it will look fabulous!❤😊

I’m not going to be very helpful Martyn with your shawl dilemma but it really is up to you at the end of the day! I can only tell you I made a mistake on a cable twist on a project some time ago myself. I left it in and carried on. However it played on my mind for weeks and in the end I went back and corrected it- and I’m glad I did! Btw those heart welsh cakes look so delicious x

If it were me, I would take it out to begin again at the cast on. I could live with somethings but that seems like it’s so early you should not be too long to get to that point again. But maybe wait until you get a few of your other WIPS done before starting again. Maybe use it as your treat after finishing Mark’s jumper. 😉 It will be brilliant! 🎉

I would frog it and start again. Your knitting skills are soo much better and you will get it done again really quickly. If you leave it you will look at it and say oh it’s got a mistake and never wear it. Hope the wedding was awesome. Mark’s cakes look brilliant. Look forward to hearing what you decide. Melissa

I hate to say it but I would rip it back and start again, if you cannot pull it back to the point you made the error and fix it. You are so excited about the yarn and so I do not think ripping it back will drown out your excitement for the project. You also are not that far into the patter either. Do it now, before it gets too much further.

do I see an avocado sprouting ? I'd fix it

Team 🐸. Then re-cast on right away. The yarn is so beautiful and you have more knitting experience now. My hope is that you will be happier with the finished project with out the little mistake.

Forge ahead! This is your knitting journal, journey. Only Mark will know that it is not perfect

Hi Martyn. If the mistake stopped you from wanting to work on it the I would frog it. No one else may notice it, but you would, and you want to be comfortable wearing it ❤

Why do people need to make snarky comments! I love watching you talk about knit, talk about acquisitions, talk about things in your life. No need to explain anything about why you aren’t knitting!! I’m here for it all!!!❤

I think 🐸 it. Once you have the yarn balled up you’ll be ready for inspiration whether or not it’s that shawl or something else. 🧶

Team 🐸 - the beautiful yarn is worth it!

🐸 Team frog it and start fresh again! after 5 years, you’ll get the excitement of a completely new project 🎉 good luck 🍀… on my way to take look at stephens shawls … mmh, maybe…

I’m team frog it! Frogging hurts when you’re doing it, but I usually feel better about redoing something but I’m a perfectionist and not fixing it would drive me nuts!

Also it would be a fantastic experience to learn how to fix things like this.

i would rip it back but you are more experienced than me. I think you should ask some of your yarny friends to help you fix it. Over here in the USofA, there is a town not too far from me, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where the Amish ladies do the most beautiful quilted afghans and blankets and I have been told they purposely leave a mistake because no one is perfect except GOD.

My opinion: frog it completely and do it again. Because if you go on with the mistake left, you will ever know that there is a mistake. You will never be 100% glad about an imperfect endresult. And the yarn is so pretty, it is worth to become a perfect shawl. And the time you consider about is better used to re-do the project.

Team live with it GO ROUGE keep on knitting . Show the progress next time. I dare you😅

Keep going plants are not perfect and have crocked stems. It would be a shame to frog it. Life is not perfect. Go rouge.❤😅 thanks for being there I appreciate the visit. Even if I live in Florida. Wish I had better access to Toft.

I'm Team Leave It. I will sometimes take one attempt to fix something, but if that doesn't work, the error stays and I move on.

Its from the amish, they make a mistake in a quilt on purpose because no one is perfect but God.

Hi both, I've just had a problem like you with my knitting, I just can't leave it and I know I would never wear it with mistakes in so I had to start again with mine. Just think how much a more accomplished knitter you are now so if you did start again you would wiz through it in no time. Best of luck with what ever you decide. Thank you for your video. Sian from Wrexham 😊

Team frog it. If it bugs you some now it will bug you always

You could make the lady bird bag

I would have to start over as the error would drive me crazy.

Riip🐸rip🐸rip. The spine makes the design.

Team frog it, you will not be happy 😉👍

I vote 🐸. The mistake will bother you later, you’re not too far along, and your gauge has probably changed in 5 years, so it’ll be the Flax sweater all over again.

Team Frog. It sounds like you may be happier with the project without the mistake. So, rip it, rip it, rip it.

I say live with it! It looks lovely and mark do t worry about what u look like we like to see you on camera!
