Crochet-Along Clue 3: Spoilers and Photos

[daverett]

I can finally say there is one HUGE advantage to knitting with round needles, you don't pick up the wrong one when you go out the door to work on your CAL in the car!
OMG! I had two rounds left to go and thought, hey, I can get these done in the time it takes to go across the mountain and back home again (while my husband drives of coarse), so I did not notice I had grabbed the wrong hook. In fact, I did not notice even after I brought it home and cut the 12 " length. Nope, silly me, it wasn't until I put the motif on the pile that I first thought to myself, I must crochet tight when in a moving vehicle! Then my ah ha moment arose when I sat to make another motif and grabbed my hook.
Ugh, it is actually a whole inch smaller just from doing the last 2 rounds with the wrong hook.
I would have to join a new ball on in order to fix it, or do I try and block it out to the correct size?
What would you do?

Honestly, I would just frog them and start over with the correct hook.

Mine look bumpy and do not really lay right. What could I be doing wrong? I'm pretty sure my stitches are correct. Agh!!

Mine are kind of wavy as well. Is that what you mean? They'll flatten out when we seam them together. Or you could block them (I'm not) or put a book on top of them or something. As long as your stitches are correct, don't stress about it. I'm convinced it will all come out well at the end.

First set of Clue #3 done. I am really liking this motif. Can't wait to see how they all come together in the end!

They're lovely - but it looks like you didn't do the final round on the motif in the top left corner. You probably noticed by now, but I figured I'd mention it just in case. I'd hate to be seaming things together and then notice something I missed! LOL

I noticed that as well...but I just now figured out how to reply to a particular thread on this forum!

I felt like my using so much of my Main Color (Bark) was getting a little too dark, so I switched this up a bit. I like it.

Pretty! I am thinking of alternating this pattern to create a snowflake in the middle, use cotton yarn, and create a Holiday dishcloth! That is after I get caught up in my Mystery afghan blocks!

What would you do?

I would unravel that part and re-do it. But, that's just me.
I'm sorry you had that happen! It sounds like something I would do, though.

Once, I took a knitting project with me, anticipating the extra time I would have to work on it out of town. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the other needle! So, there I sat, with a knitting project on one needle.

I finished all of the clues so far. I didn't like my original color line up so I redid them with colors I liked more.
Since switching my colors I am really enjoying the motifs I can't wait to see what it looks like finished.

I love your color combinations; they work so well together!
