I'll be honest. Seaming Week: Redux almost didn't happen. This weekend, I was really dreading seaming 3 sweaters and putting the Galaxy Tank together. So I did what any knitter in his or her right mind would do.
I casted on for Buttercup.
Fortunately for Seaming Week: Redux, my gauge was totally off and I had to frog the whole thing. I took that as a sign from the knitting gods and got my ass in gear to make Seaming Week: Redux a reality.
You know that my first attempt at Seaming Week was thwarted by two right fronts on Glint. Well, I have that all reknitted, correctly this time. With that out of the way, I decided to check out what was going on with the Cabled Coat. I did a few measurements and realized that the front collars were an inch or two short. So I pulled out my trusty size 7's and got to cabling.
I got both sides to the proper length when something struck me.
Something struck me as terribly wrong.

SEAMING WEEK: Redux
Collar #1
Collar #2
One of these things is not like the other...
Yes. All 25 inches of cabled goodness, cabled incorrectly. Isn't knitting supposed to be stress reducing?
