*sigh*
I've knit about 8" of my new wrap using worsted-weight yarn and size 8 needles. That's what I swatched with and it seemed like it made a nice, drape-able fabric. Uh uh. It's too tight. It looks great, but it needs to be looser, to flow better.
So I have to rip it all out and start over again. And I don't have bigger needles with me, so it'll have to wait till I have them.
I could cry.
At least I have my Tropical Tee with me for emergency knitting.

sad, so frustrating when that happens!
Oh yes.
that sucks :-( I hate when that happens
Oh, I hate have to rip out my hard work. Sorry!
I'm just so ready to rip into these things and get them done! I was too tired last night to try another needle size, but I will this weekend. And I brought my Denise kit with me in case I have time this afternoon.
I know how that feels...I just started a cardigan and got gauge when I swatched. After 2 inches into it, my gauge is still on, but the texture of my yarn is ohsowrong for the pattern. :=( Now I have to find my head around a whole new pattern...ugh.
Thank God for emergency knitting!
Good luck on the wrap! You'll get it figured out :)
Some yarns just don't work with anything! It's really frustrating when you start something and it doesn't look right.
