You could just rip back to your just knit row and knit in the front and the back of one stitch to make up the lost stitch.

 :hug: Ellie. You're not alone in that. In retrospect, maybe a lace pattern shawl was not the best thing to get you back into knitting, but you will get there.

I got there :)

Tiny piece for all the time it took me, and still very rolled up around the edges so I need to wash and pin/block it at some point but it won't be for the next week or so as I won't be around.  Then I will take pics and send them to Sally if I can't get them to post on here myself..

I also finished a table today after 11 weeks of work and it is similarly tiny but an equally huge achievement so I'm well chuffed. 

Both creative processes are now well and truly ongoing so there will be future projects..

That is such good news! A completed knitting project is always so satisfying! I shall look forward to the pictures.

Brilliant!  Well done Ellie, not least for persevering!

 :trophy: Well done. :thumbsup:

I was just thinking of you both yesterday and wondering how you were getting on.

Come on Russ, we need an update from you too.

Well done Ellie. Can we also see a pic of the table when you get round to it please.
