Learning experience: picking up the pieces.

After I had unpicked my jugful of yarn, I re-knit, this time shaping the edges of the neckline with decreases instead of cast-offs. The new (correct) steek had only a single kangaroo pouch, no other holes or floats.

In fact, all of this activity only set me back 7 or 8 hours. It was a painful learning experience and I wish I'd read the steeking stories at Eunny Jang's excellent old website better when I was first learning. However, I do learn by doing and I'm unlikely to forget this particular lesson now. I'll know better next time.
