I began blocking the kyoto sweater at long last. I did the back and it went well and I thought well I can fit both front pieces on and do them at the same time. I began pinning down the right side and I was measuring to make sure that it was pinned down to the correct proportions when I noticed that my piece didn't match with the back. To my dismay I realized that I had worked the front right shoulder as if I was working the front left shoulder! I grumbled and called myself dirty names and began to rip it past the point that I began to shape the shoulder. Now just to let you know in the past ripping anything caused shivers to go down my spine because I would always fumble and just have to start over. Well today I bit my lip and tried it. I, thankfully, was able to rip it to two rows below the beginning of the shoulder shaping and correct my mistake. In total it took about 15 mins and I didn't pull any hairs out. I'm so glad that went smoothly and now I can get back to blocking the rest of my garment.
