The old, post 4 (patterns in the round)

On the subject of patterns, I should admit that I made a mistake with the first one.  I had never made a sweater in the round or worked in two colours before and so I mis-followed the chart.  There is a gap between my repeats which shouldn't be there.  Presumably, the pattern indicated that there should be one the first time through (but not subsequent repeats), but I didn't understand it.  

I thought about keeping the mistake all the way through, but my love of symmetry trumped my love of similarity.  These days, I would unpick to fix a mistake like that, but I think at the time I was just happy to have got through the first couple of inches.
