rippingrunning
Oh yeah. You never stop ripping no matter how good you THINK you are. I’ve been ripping out for too many years. I almost never take the work off the needles unless the mistake is so egregious, I have no choice. But when I do rip each stitch out, rather than pull the yarn out of the old stitch each time, I do an entire row (round) and then gently pull the ripped yarn.
Btw, if you really want a frogging challenge, there’s ripping out from point A only the stitches where lies the mistake and then re-knitting them back up
to point A, leaving the rest of the knitting as is. This works extremely well for mistakes in cables, for example. Like when you should have twisted the cable one way and did it wrong and only noticed it about 10 twists later
. You’d simply rip out the cable stitches and reknit and twist them
using either a crochet hook or a dp. Not hard at all, just takes a little nerve.
Btw: fixing missed yarnovers: If you miss a yarnover and catch it the next row, just pick up the running thread between the stitches and go on. Don’t twist it when you pick it up. Just scoop and knit. It will be a little smaller than “normal” but once it is blocked no one will notice!
