knitting perfectionism

Got a pattern on eBay and had loads of fun doing the front as it was my first intarsia project - now trying to keep up enthusiasm for doing loads of DK stocking stitch up the back!

I tried to increase in purl and the stitch went funny - there's no way I'm ripping it back to take it out but it is really annoying me.

Truly chuffed with the intarsia tho - it has gone a bit pouchy but I don't care (much.....) LOL

Anyone else an annoying perfectionist with their knitting?

totally. i can't bear making mistakes. i must admit i go fetch a whisky or some such, come back and fix things even if it takes ages.

i've spent a few good hours perfecting my intarsia yarn changes. worth doing so when you get to the jersey it looks ok.
