[Nfb-krafters-korner] ripping back

[Annette Carr]

I have a pattern for a scarf that only uses the knit stitch.  The piece is
knitted in the round.  When you are binding off, you drop stitches on
purpose as you do it.  The end result is a straight scarf with fringe.  The
first time I made it I was not happy about having to drop a stitch and
unravel my hard work.  I now embrace it and it is kind of fun.  With the
right yarn it makes a neat noise.

There are a number of stitch patterns that require you to drop a stitch.

Just some food for thought.

Annette

For me, the problem with ripping out is that invariably that dropped stitch
has long since disappeared into the fabric below. I'm not using anything as
a lifeline to keep that from happening.-----Original Message-----

Why not just practice your "ripping out" think of it as practice and don't
worry about the finished project yet. Just rip it out, and begin again, or
rip down to your mistakes and go from there - do it for practice.
