frogging question

[CrisKad]

I am working on a feather and fan scarf, but have run into a snag. I realized I've messed up about 2 rows down and need to frog.

 

I learned how to frog a stitch or two on the same row, but how do I frog entire rows? Do I do it one stitch at a time, like when you're only frogging a little? Or is there another way?

 

I don't want to have to frog the whole thing because I'm already 20 inches into my project!

 

Help a newbie, please!

I found these videos on knittinghelp.com. Scroll down a bit for fixing mistakes. I know it's scary to drop stitches, but it really works great...plus you get to use a crochet hook! LOL!

A fast, but maybe a bit scary way to frog two rows is to take all the stitches off the needle, and then frog the rows. When you have frogged the two rows, you´ll have to pick up all the stitches back to the needle.

But if it´just a small mistake you have made, I would do it like smokeyp81 says.

Me, I would rip out the two rows and then put the stitches back on the needle..

Though I use lifeline.. Then you have the stitches all line up nice and neat..

Thanks for the advice and videos!

 

mamaoso, what is lifeline?

Depending on the length of the rows, I'd 'unknit' the last two rows to the mistake. For a mistake much further back, if I really can't ignore it, I'd take all the stitches off, frog, and put them back on the needles.

First time I read this I thought it was in the crochet help forum, lol. I was like, what's the problem? Frog away! Not so easy when it's in knitting. I use a lifeline too. Here's a video on it:

Scroll down the page to see the video on "using a lifeline". It won't help you now but when you get the problem you have fixed, you can add a lifeline so that if you have to frog again, it's not so scary.

Ahhh, that makes so much sense to use a lifeline! Well, I'm going to try frogging tonight with all this advice and let you know how it goes.
