Help with Fetching...my thumb is backwards!!

[Brandy_m]

When I was all done I realized my thumb was showing the PURLED side instead of the knit side....:?? :shrug:

WHAT Did I do? It does'nt look bad, but I just want to know why it did that!!

Thanks!

You were likely knitting on the inside of the tube rather than the outside.

[Brandy_m]

but how?? LOL. I have no idea what I did wrong, so how do I not do it again!!

Thanks!

[Ingrid]

:shrug: It's easy to do, especially with small things. I imagine that you used the two back needles rather than the two front needles when you knit it.

[Brandy_m]

thanks! This was my first time using Magic Loop (Which I loved) so maybe I got twisted around or something!

THanks again!

[Ingrid]

The stitches probably started out reversed when you got them on the needles.

It's fixable, though, if you're so inclined.

I think I"m going to leave it! I'd have to rip out the whole thumb, and I"m afraid I wouldn't get the original stitches picked back up. It doesn't look bad. And when I wear them no one else will know they're not supposed to be that way.

I'm assuming I'd have to frog back to the pick ups and do over? (I really appreciate your help, Ingird :) )

[Ingrid]

Yes, you'd have to rip out to there, but like you said, nobody else will notice.

Good idea! Just be sure to make the same "error" with the second one and no one will be the wiser!;)
