Steek...EEK!

If you follow along with my ramblings, you may have seen the Clayoquot Cardigan that I have been working on. A yoked color work cardigan worked in the round that later is steeked.

Steek.

Hmmmm.

I had never done it.

Read all about it.

watched videos how to do it.

Thought I was ready.

Crochet chain put in....

Scissors cut up the middle.

All looked good. Thought I did it right.

Then...pop. pop. pop. pop....

Little bits of yarn, quickly unraveling at the top part where all the colorwork was done.

I stayed calm. Didn't freak out. Tied little knots.

Tacked it down with backstitching thread and needle.

Picked up the button band, did it.

It's done. Now....what did I do wrong?
Here's what I think. I think that when I did the crochet reinforcement chains, I did not go all the way through the layers of knitting. I picked up the top color only. It must be the problem right?

Where I had just the gray knitting in the body, that worked perfectly.

Any advice? I'm praying this whole things doesn't fall apart. I think I reinforced it ok....

Next time, I might just do a yoke sweater and leave it as is.

Maybe.

:)

Here it is in all it's "glory". hmmmm

So...that's my story this week.

And thank you to another awesome knitting student for my Rook gift card.

Yum! Coffee here I come.

Have a great week.

Joining in with Ginny's yarn along.
