Surfacing this in case there's more folks into making my Maker Rig make sense.
A friend once described my whole vibe as "No, you move". I'm years in. I'm the real deal. I do 90%. You make the last 10%.

It is really helpful to get comfy with frogging and picking up stitches again if one drops down, because then you donβt have to be afraid of mistakes! It is all practice practice, yes! It is also 100% ok to leave a mistake in and just finish the project. :)
knitting advice deployed!
If the issue is what I wrote, thereβs not really an easy fix thatβs not frogging.
For fixing - my advice, knowing that you said you didnβt want to do this, is to get comfortable at frogging or unknitting. Donβt hesitate, itβs all part of making things. You canβt engineer without iterating either. Believe it or not, 85 stitches isnβt too bad. :)
Its hard to say exactly from the photos, but my guess is that after you picked up your stitches, instead of knitting them, you accidentally turned your work and knit back across, accidentally doing a βshort rowβ. Otherwise, if you lost a row, there would a loop of yarn across those stitches on back.
Today starts the final week of our closing sale! 50% off the whole website, which means that my favorite product, the FUnicorn, is under $20. Discounts are shown AFTER items are added to your cart!

Monday morning bump - we're running low on a few Glowie light-up jewelry shapes and colors, so if you've been thinking about getting one, now is the time!
It been 0 days since @thea.codes 's KiCanvas saved my bacon again by opening an old layout file that was crashing KiCad.
If you're using KiCad for PCB design and haven't seen KiCanvas, give it a look! kicanvas.org
I've previously bought the Krampus and SMT Garden kits. Both are wonderful. If you want to get some cool soldering practice in or want a pretty electronical of your own then definitely check Alpenglow out while you still can!
Thanks! β€οΈβ€οΈ
