I haven't read through all the instructions from Romi yet, so maybe it would work out OK.<BR/><BR/>I had problem when I was tinking back to fix a lace mistake (for the umpteenth time), and I dropped a stitch somehow and it started running down in the middle. I discovered and safety pinned it to stop it.<BR/><BR/>My idea was--could you pick up stitches further down in an still OK area, insert your needle in across a whole row, and then rip down to that level? How hard is it to pick up the stitches correctly in lace, get all the yarn overs, etc. Is this an insane idea? It sounds safer to me than tinking, because the whole row you would pick up below would be like a lifeline.

I put all the good stitches on lifelines to the left and right of the section I needed to work on and pinned the area around the problem to a pillow.

It's actually not terrible to do once you get past the fact that you are ripping part of your knitting out. :g:Romihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934970182636152911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19167514.post-68732126304476546872008-06-25T15:00:00.000-06:002008-06-25T15:00:00.000-06:00I actually pin graph paper with the stitches in qu...I actually pin graph paper with the stitches in question inked onto it and then pin the lace on top of the graph paper. I don't have to take my eyes off the work to look at the pattern that way.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you--I love to knit lace because it's an interesting puzzle. I have a drawer full of never-wron shawls, but who cares?fleeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348327363198905898noreply@blogger.com
