I took these photos and thought, deja vu.
You see, after getting to the third tier of letters, I ended up ripping the Alphabet blanket last year.

Y= Yipes

Looking at this photo, I notice a boo-boo, which means that I'm going to have to rip back to tier 1. Oh I hate seeing this kind of errors. if I don't rip, it'll just bother me to no end. This is not a hard pattern to work, but it does require some concentration and it's easy to make mistakes.
Here's the mistake, circled.. so how obvious it is, once it'e been pointed out?

I don't think the baby or small children will be bothered by an error that even other knitters can't see when it's pointed out to them! Continue on with your beautiful knitting.
Posted by: Petunia at May 21, 2008 06:59 PMNot at all obvious. I know your misgivings, though. I think you can safely leave it and it would never be noticed. Seriously....

I can't see the mistake even with the red circle. It looks great, don't rip, keep going. You'll probably forget all about it.

Posted by: Sarah at May 17, 2008 02:32 PMI made this blanket last year and missed a couple of YO. It's far easier to ladder back and fix the error instead of ripping it back. And the blanket doesn't get used because my daughter doesn't like lace.
Posted by: Aunty Tink at May 16, 2008 03:08 PMIf it's the wee thing about the eyelet alignment, it wouldn't bother me one iota! If it's nothing to do with the eyelet alignment I'm probably giving you a complex over nothing ;-) x K
Posted by: Kathleen at May 15, 2008 08:47 PMIt's a baby blanket, Polly. It may even become a security blanket as the baby becomes a toddler. By the time the toddler gives up the "blankie", it may well be on its "last legs", so to speak, and may end up as framed objet d'art individual letters!
Posted by: Bobbi at May 15, 2008 12:29 AMSuch a cute blanket... Hee, hee! If it was me, I wouldn't worry about it - but if it bugs you, you should rip it back : )
I can't see this so-called error. I guess I can't let a few erros go. I hope that you can complete this time without further ripping.
Posted by: Wanda at May 14, 2008 06:34 AMUm, no, actually, I can't figure it out. You have to remember that we don't have the pattern, so we of course can't see the mistake. P. S. Neither will anyone else, but I know what you mean. It would drive me nuts just knowing it was there.
Posted by: Tracey at May 14, 2008 01:23 AMI can't see it too. But I understand how it will bother you as you knit. I will do the same - rip it back. It's a shame but it will feel more satisfying.
Posted by: Ann at May 14, 2008 01:06 AMIs it too far (or complicated) to ladder down in that one spot and fix it? Might be worth a try, especially if you would be ripping it anyway.
Posted by: Beth S. at May 13, 2008 09:42 PMI cannot detect the error. Since you knitted quite a lot after making the error it must not have been that obvious to you either, at least at first. My grandmother used to say, "A man on a galloping horse would never notice it."
Posted by: Paula at May 13, 2008 05:58 PMI honestly can't see it, even with the helpful circle...
I know it will bother you, but is it a gift? will the recepient notice? or the recepient's parent, as I assume it's for a baby! I wouldn't rip it personally.

Posted by: sarah at May 13, 2008 02:43 PMI can't see the mistake either?
Posted by: Jacinta at May 13, 2008 10:32 AMI can't see the mistake either?
Posted by: Jacinta at May 13, 2008 10:32 AMI don't see it at all!
Posted by: woolcat at May 12, 2008 09:42 PMSo sorry you must rip back.
Posted by: Sarah at May 12, 2008 07:28 PMI can't see the mistake at all, maybe you don't have to rip back?...
Posted by: larissa at May 12, 2008 04:56 PMEh, actually I still don't see what's wrong. But on the other hand I don't know the pattern, so that might explain it.
I do however know all about small mistakes that annoy the hell out of you, so I can understand why you feel the need to pull back. I feel sorry for the loss of all you work (again). Good luck with third time (that's the charm, right?)
It certainly isn't at all obvious to me, but I understand all about comfort zones. What a pity you've got to go back again.
