[Nfb-krafters-korner] Slip stitch

[Terry Powers]

I chose to knit the scarf.  This yarn is to splitty to take out, for me.
I think the slipping of stitches will work better on different yarn.  I am
using it on a baby blanket and it is nice.  That is why Iam surprised of
this happening.

Hi, Terry,
My guess is that the problem is because of your yarn having split at that
point. If it is only a couple of rows down, you can drop this stitch off the
needle, let it run down to the row with the problem, like a run in a
stocking. Pick up the stitch with a crochet hook and reknit it from the
loops you will see on that side edge of your scarf. 
If this is your first scarf, and considering the difficult nature of the
yarn itself, you might just decide to say, this is life and try to move the
stitch a bit with your fingers. Remember that wool is elastic. 
I would normally tell you to pull the thing off the needles and take it back
to the problem row. The learning gained from this far outweighs the loss of
time in knitting those rows again. However, I would not do this with the
kind of yarn you are using. You could end up with a tangled mess that might
only yield to the scissors. Let me know how it turns out.
Dotty
