Last night I realized the prayer shawl wasn't as big as I thought it should be and the beginning (the point of the triangle) bowed up. I reread the instructions and realized the size 11 needles that I thought were going to be fine--weren't. The pattern called for a size 13. I spent the rest of the evening ripping it out, all 7 ounces of Lion's Brand Homespun. Tonight, yes you guessed it, I will finish the baby sweater before I re-start the shawl.
As we all know, always check your gauge and use the RIGHT SIZE needles. Fortunately, this error on my part is easily corrected by just ripping out, however on a more difficult pattern with several colors it would have been a nightmare.
