[Nfb-krafters-korner] ripping back

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Well folks, it depends on how you rip back and how well you pick up  
stitches.    That will determine how fast you can do it.  If  you rip one stitch 
at a time and you need to say go back 10 rows to pick up  that dropped 
stitch-if you don't have many stitches in a row then it will go  fast.  
 
If you pull your needles totally out and rip back those 10 rows by  pulling 
it out that goes fast, but if you had say a bunch of stitches in a row  and 
you now need to pick each stitch up -[may I suggest you use a needle 1 or 2 
 sizes smaller then what you were using][this works better].  It is  easier 
as it is smaller and if any of the stitches get pulled a little it helps  
as the needle goes in easier.  If you pick up the stitches going right to  
left [Knit] remember when you go to knit them you need to take them off your  
needle and twist the yarn and put them back on.  You will understand the  
need of this as the yarn is twisted wrong.
 
Another way of doing this [this is the way I like to do it] after you take  
your needles out and pull back an extra row below the dropped stitch [this 
is  where all your stitches feel even] on the knit side starting at the 
stitch your  working yarn is coming out of   working left to right put your 
needle into  the stitch that the working yarn is in [put in to the stich not the 
loop of the  knitting yarn and with your needle in the stich pull on the 
working yarn.   This un knits that stitch.  now do the same thing one at a 
time going to  the right until you undo the row.  All the stitches are  
correctly  facing in the crrect direction so you can start knitting.  If you are a  
tight knitter then you really need to use a smaller needle to do this as it 
will  make your life easier.

I put a  safety pin right over or in the dropped stitch then rip back to 
that, if I  can. I don't use a life line as it is just too much fiddling 
around for me  and takes longer than if I just rip it out back to the hole.
