[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Ripping back and picking up

[Tracy Carcione]

Not me!  If something has a small flaw that no one will notice, like
discreetly sewing in a dropped stitch I didn't notice until way too late,
then that's good enough for me.  Small imperfections and variations show it
was made by a human, and not a machine.
But this problem was too big to manage any other way than pulling it out.
Like, I wouldn't have been able to move my arms after I put the sweater on.

Amen and Amen to that Bernice.
You sound like Terry and me in that we are Perfectionists with our work,
even if it is for ourselves.

Good for you. I think you will be glad in the end. Sometimes those old
sayings had foundation in truth, If it is worth doing it is worth doing it
right.

I finished ripping back my piece to where I went wrong, then picking up the
stitches to try again.  It took about 2 hours, altogether, which isn't bad.
I even got it right back to the right place, because I could feel where a
line of increases ended and put a marker there.

Some people have said they can't feel the loops to pick up.  I understand
that.  Some I could feel, and others I couldn't.  When I couldn't, I put my
needle through any small hole I could feel, which usually was the loop I
wanted + the loop under it.  Then I tinked back a row and fixed those.  When
I've picked up 2 loops instead of 1, and I tink, I get 1 loop and 1 loose
bit of yarn wrapped around, so it's easy to fix.  

So, I lost a couple inches of work, but I still have at least 6 or 8 inches
that I did before.  Yay!

Tracy
