I finished the little cardi after lots of things going wrong  0_0

Lots of problems with the yarn getting tangled as I was knitting with two very thin strands of yarn.

I had to do the neck band three times, as first time I hung one front side on the needles with the shoulder seam instead of the neck edge, then I put the fronts on the wrong sides, so the front edges were at the shoulder seams, but third time lucky!

Then I had to do each button band twice due to dropped stitches, but it's done!  Just need to sew it up now - and of course I don't have any buttons in the right colour.

I always wanted one of these, in my days of machine knitting. You've made a lovely job of the little cardi - gorgeous colour too. <3

The things it can do are amazing, but I'm still not convinced I actually want to use the thing again, it's so frustrating having to keep re-starting a piece when it all goes horribly wrong.
