8/15… Binding off tonight.

This is a gorgeous pattern but I do however have a few issues as follows:

I will NEVER do another one of Threebagsfulled patterns again after this experience with her

1. As a designer, when a number of people ask you the SAME thing you should maybe recheck your math and take into consideration that you could be wrong and made a mistake.

2. As a designer, do NOT tell people the reason why they are running short is because they ALL became loose knitters on the second half of the shawl.

3. It does NOT, I repeat does NOT take 20 grams of yarn to do a loose bind off or stretchy, however you want to look at it. It does take about 2 to 3 grams to do the bind off.

4. As a designer, you should realize that cotton yarn does NOT give like regular wool yarn and you should OVER estimate how much cotton should be used instead of giving the closest to what you used.

5. As a designer, you really should NOT delete someone’s post from a forum. It does 1 of 2 things. It will either make me look bad, like I was being a bitch or giving you shit or it will make you look bad. Like maybe you made a MISTAKE! Seriously don’t delete posts unless they are really bad posts. People like me trying to clarify that I am reading things correctly and double checking not being mean or nasty to you.

6. Your directions for the bind off SUCK MAJOR MONKEY BALLS!

I am sure I have more complaints but can’t think of them right now….

Decided to stop at 5 repeats of the border. I could probably squeak out another repeat or two, but I am very over this whole thing.

Pictures to come of my very “loose” finished shawl. LOL
