    Definitely leave your ranuculus as is. No one would possibly know. Besides there are hundreds of sweaters to be knit and so little time. Pick your next beautiful project and have fun! ❤ Thanks ladies for another fun episode.

    Always enjoy you ladies. I would totally wear that sweater like a badge of honor. Having had multiple surgeries myself as well as being a RN caring for patients postoperative that come to the ER~ recovery is rough… and so is taking the meds, plus all that remains in your system from the procedure itself. I hope to see you wearing it next podcast. It so warmed my heart when Caitlin gave you the stitch stoppers~ it beautifully showed the love between you both in a simple gesture of a gift. God Bless!

    Well, I was not sure what you were referring to with the R sweater. I am a huge crocheter and a bit of a knitter. My perspective is that if it is not huge, leave it! LIfe is too short and I figure I don't have enough years left to have to do something twice! I'd rather move forward and it will always remind you of the gratitude we can have for reliable medical care not available to much of the world. A gratitude reminder! A precious small signature making it yours!

    I am a knitter and would never notice your two eyelets vs. three eyelets. I would absolutely leave it , especially since you finished it. And this is from someone who has ripped out whole projects. Your test knit is so beautiful - great choice of color. You might have called this episode “Ankers aweigh”. They are all gorgeous. Katie , we had boxes in this house for months and had no little ones when we moved in 38 years ago. The LYS will be gorgeous. I have used LBA yarn in Yellow Brick Road and it is beautiful, esp, in the sun. Thanks fo another great podcast!

    Diana, your Ranunculus is imperfectly perfect. Your mistake is not really noticeable unless someone is really up close looking at it. And if someone is doing that, they have other problems 😅 I just want to say how lovely and soothing your voice is. It reminds me of me beloved grandma, who was raised in WV and SE Ohio. You and I are of a similar age and I love seeing the wonderful things you knit. I especially love that you can share that love with your daughter too. Thanks for your podcast.

    I would leave the Ranunculus the way it is...no one will ever know...unless you absolutely can't live with it 😊 I am 62 and only found out about the Curly Girl method in 2019. I knew my hair was wavy....but didn't know it could be so curly! I get random compliments all the time! Over time, I've tried different products until I've found a favourite....and it uses less different steps. What made a huge difference, too, was finding a hairdresser who was certified in curly cuts ✂️ ❤

    I tell my kids to "any many miny moe" it (however you spell that) to reveal their real hearts desire. After watching them do that at a very young age and chose what they wanted anyway, when they started to feel pressured to stick with what they landed on I pressed the point that if they are disappointed then you now know what you truly wanted. Which was the delima to begin with and the purpose of the iny many miny moe. And if you truly don't care then it won't matter what you land on. So now I have a list of projects in a hat to pick from and if I'm not happy I put it back. Who's gonna know? 😉... or care lol my knitting journey my rules.

    Both of your Ankers are so pretty. If the design element you created in your Ranunculus bothers you, I'd say rip it out. But! imho, a non-knitter would never know and it looks beautiful as is. 💜 I always double-wind my yarn cakes - It really does make a big difference in having a more relaxed yarn cake!

    I’ve made a few Ranunculus sweaters and your looks great. The “mistake” is evenly done all the way round so that makes it a modification/ design feature. Wear it with pride. That said, if it bothers you; and you feel it screams out every time you pick it up, you should reknit it. It’s a fun piece to knit. (I would not 😉

    I don’t think nonknitters would notice but if you won’t wear it and be fine with it then you need to rekniit it. I have found with experience that if I cannot accept a mistake and will obsess over the mistake that I just have to bite the bullet and reknit.

    I use a spray detangler, then a light oil spray on the ends, a curly leave-in lotion and a mousse….whew! All of that in that order on sopping wet hair then I use and old tshirt or a microfiber wrap to get all the water out. I air dry for as long as possible and then diffuse it with the hair dryer. I hope that helps. Enjoy your curls!❤
