undo it? Am I supposed to put all of the stitches back on to the other needle?
I can’t wrap my brain around this.
Does anyone have a link to a video of how to do this?
I’m in crisis mode because the knittng store isn’t open on Mondays!
(But I don’t even know how to frog!)
I think the easiest thing to do is tink that one row. That is, unknit it stitch by stitch. I’ll try to find a video for you.
Try this one:http://http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/FEATwin03TT.html
i don’t know about anyone else, but in your position i would tink. (knit backwards 
) knitty has a great piece on undoing your knitting. i am so glad i just found it. i’ll probably be using that at some point during my extensive christmas knitting. :teehee:
GOOD LUCK!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! 
In that video, they show them tinking in the middle of the row. If I want to take out a whole row, how do I do that? If I slide the needle off of the stitches and rip the row, how do I put the next row down back on?
Why is knitting so much more complicated than crocheting?
If it’s just one row, it’s still easier to do it stitch by stitch. Take your empty left needle and insert it into the stitch below the last stitch on the right needle (then one attached to the yarn), and let the stitch fall off and pull the yarn gently. You should have one st on the left; if not, put the needle into the loop that was left by pulling the yarn.
I winged it and just kept going. You have to really look to see that I should have done that one row differently. So I’ve kept going and pretty much kept on track.The scarf is actually kind of pretty (even my hubby said it was cute). I always try to work 3 rows at a time.
Tomorrow evening, I’ll knit up some stitches and try to do this. I’m too scared to do it on my scarf; it’s over 17 inches long now!
Thanks, y’all!

You can always put a row just like it at the same place on the other end of the scarf, so that they match. Then it isn’t a mistake; it is a “design element”!!!:cheering: :cheering:
I think a lot of the time you’ll “wing it” and you’ll figure it out on your own with knitting. Until I found this site i had to wing a lot of things. Sometimes it’s a good learning experience!
realized in the middle of a row that I lost my place. Now, if it had been just a K row or just a P row, I would have tried to tink it.
But I’m scared. :shock: SO, I’m back to the knitting store.
Once the owner tinks it back for me, I’m going to get her to show me how to tink back a knit row and a purl row. I HAVE to learn this! :knitting:
When I tink a row back, I do it very very slowly. I let one bad stitch fall off the needle, pull out the loop for the bad stitch and put last row’s good stitch on the other needle. Repeat one stitch at a time. It works the same for knits as for purls. It take me forever, but I don’t like to frog something back unless it’s a lot of rows because I tend to put them back on the needle twisted the wrong way and then my finsihed project has a slightly wonky looking row. No one else seems to notice, but I do.
If the stitches are facing the wrong way when you put them back, it can be fixed as you knit them. Just turn them the correct way before you knit them.
Okay, so I did another inadvertent y/o. I didn’t like it but ignored it. I have a LOT on my mind this afternoon, which ought to be enough to tell me NOT to pick up the needles unless I’m just doing garter stitch. So I continue on, ignoring small hole #2. Then I see, a couple of rows later, that I’ve done a row incorrectly.
Keep in mind that I’ve already been to my LYS today. (Just to buy, not to cry for help.) But now I HAVE to go back tomorrow, because I can’t live with hole #2 AND a row that is in the wrong place.
On a positive note, I did buy a video entitled “Oops: Correcting Your Knitting Mistakes”. How could I not?
