I am working on the Aran Coat from Knitting Around. This is knit from Sheepsdown from Schoolhouse Press. Its a very thick wool that has a lot of lanolin. I started this early summer (I know...what was I thinking using such thick wool at that time of year?) and at some point I was frustrated because the sheepfold pattern was not in a mirror image as I knit. So...I put this project aside and let it simmer. I took it out about a week ago and decided to figure out how to mirror image the pattern. It only took me a few minutes to figure it out so I wonder why it took me so long to pick this project back up again.
Here are photos of the before: See how the pattern is just repeated?
Here is a scary photo. This is where I "un-did" that portion of the main body down to the first row so that I could re-knit it so the two panels would be mirror images of one another.
Now here is the re-knit version. I had to do this to two panels on the main body and on one sleeve!
Isn't that much better??

Hi Naomi!
Wow, you are so brave to do all that raveling. That part of knitting makes me very nervous! But I know that if anyone is up to the task, it's you. Looks great!
Love-Terry
