O.k. Let's talk about the Python Shawl. My obsession with the endless color combinations and the ability to color block this in tones has really intrigued me for a few months. So, I finally bought some soon to be discontinued Madelinetosh sport in tones of gray with a pop of clay, and boom here we are.However, section 4 is throwing me for a loop. Listen, I consider myself a pretty expert knitter; but for some reason, section 4 is beating me. I've pulled it out twice. It's a straight forward set of instructions for German short rows. But for some reason, I am not creating a triangle. I'm creating a kind of triangle, where one side, which is suppose to be the point of the triangle, is just coming out larger and less pointy, hence it's not even a triangle. I have never had this trouble. What am I missing? I've racked my brain. I'm assuming its something in my interpretation of the repeats that I'm just straight up missing and its obvious and right in front of me.This is, in my mind, a simple garter shawl pattern. I've created triangle shawls before. What the heck gives? Is it my brain space for knitting right now? Is there something in the German short rows that are owning me? NO ONE, seriously, NO ONE, on ravelry has mentioned any difficulty--errata in the pattern was for the next section, and everyone else's look PERFECT.I have resorted to writing to the pattern designer, Emilia Jensen, (a perk of ravelry and its power in the making community) and am embarrassed by asking--she responded right away and I can't blame her for having little advice for me. I wouldn't have advice for me, either.Has this happened to you? Where you have pattern block for one part? Where it seems simple but you can't get it down even if you consider yourself pretty much an expert? Expert I am not, right now.Ripping back for a second time. And wondering what I got myself into, since I barely--if ever--wear the scarves I knit, or any scarves at all, these days.
