I'm back on track, having suffered time penalties during the tinking. I missed a yarn over early on that threw the count off and so I tinked back over 600 stitches. Not that I counted or anything. Heh. Then into the second round of colour work I realized that I didn't pay close enough attention to the chart and ripping was in order to set up the colour work row again. Hopefully there won't be too much more ripping back in my future as it's terribly time consuming and the Melody is proving laborious to get back on the needles without splitting. Also discovered that these darker colours are harder to work after the sun goes down. .jpg)
I'll have to work on this sweater more during daylight hours if I want to make any progress and of course to achieve my Gold! Have you guys been watching the Olympics? I loved the Moguls. Admittedly the men's were much more exciting than the women's for the sheer speed!

And we finally won GOLD in our own country! Yay!
Try running a life line through the stitches every few rows during your colour work so that if you need to rip, you can rip faster than slowly tinking back. Then again, you need to hope your life line is close enough to your mistake to avoid reknitting inches of mistake free progress...
600 stitches! And I was complaining about having to reknit a fairly simple mitten because of a mistake. I've seen that idea about a life line on Lazy Kate Knit's blog. I'm planning to do that next time I have a complicated project.
