I find the decision to rip difficult, but am always glad I did. Enjoy the new" knittng.

Ahhhh!! And I usually know sooner than I do it. Just rip, just rip!:) Looks good, though!

Painful! BUT, you'll be glad you did.

oh, I feel your pain- I just ripped out about 1/3 of a sweater I was knitting for my daughter, it was clear it was too big. Oh well, better to fix it now than to finish it and have it be unwearable, right?

I ripped out and started TWICE my Acer cardigan. Third time is working much better. Though I ended up unknitting a good portion of a cable chart too. But now I feel much better about the project...and I learned a lot about the stitch construction.

Leslie, as one who's unraveled quite a few of my own rows recently, I know what you mean about making that decision.

But...aren't you glad to have the chance of the new beginning that will turn out very well?

I also want to pass along good wishes to you with regard to that house sale featured in your prior post. I've never quite had the nerve to buy a first home, so you may take me for a true scaredy-cat...but a well-wishing scaredy cat. xo

trust your feelings ;-) but i do it as well... again and again. note to self: trust your feelings :-)

Just like in poker, ya gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. I'm glad to see your needles are clicking again.

ack! that is never fun! i bet it'll be gorgeous on you when you are finished, though. xo. (PS - wishing i was in pittsburgh at quilt market mostly so i could see you!)

Far better to frog than fret! It will be better this time around! xx

Awww, snap. Did your gauge swatch lie?

Ugh! I know that can be frustrating. I hope you have better luck with the re-do.

Ugh, ripping is the WORST. But then, once you have a beautiful finished sweater that fits, you'll forget it ever happened. (Like childbirth, I guess?)

Damn...

It will so be worth it - it always is. I have many, many times kept knitting when I know that I shouldn't!

It's always so frustrating when you have to start again, but it will be worth it in the end!

Ahhhh, I tried to knit this jumper but had to pull back because it was too confusing to me. I know for a pro like you that may sound silly, but short rows are so intimidating to me!
