I am also going to get myself into the habit of using lifelines.

Congrats Terry!
Tinking has saved me many, many times.  It's why I don't rip out projects as 
much as others seem to.
It doesn't work so well with fuzzy yarn, so I'm glad you managed anyway.
I tell you, from bitter experience, don't try it with thin mohair.  I did, 
and ended up with such a knotted mess I had to toss it and start over.

I was at my sisters house, this weekend and after doing my boarder, I was to 
purl the row, but I caught myself!
I had purled 1 stitch and gone back to knitting!
I tried to tink my work, but for some reason I dropped 2 stitches, down to 
the next row.  This yarn is fuzzy and splits easily.
I actually tinked 1.5 rows and you would never know I did anything wrong!
I almost thought I was going to have to trash the thing, but I did it!

Bigquestion, is there a difference in how you tink a knit stitch and a purl 
stitch.  I know how to tink a knit stitch.

Knitting backward.

Tink is knit spelled backward.

For me, if I made a mistake on a stitch or stitches I just undo my work 
stitch by stitch until I get back to the error & then correct the error & 
continue with my project. If it is a big mistake, then I’ll frog the whole 
project by ripping out all the stitches & starting the entire project over.
