Thanks! Your response helps me choose future tips.
Try It
Before your next neckline or tricky shaping, add a lifeline. Scrap off, rehang your work, leave the scrap yarn in place, and continue knitting.
If something goes wrong, you’ll have a safe place to rip back to and start again.
Sue’s Tip
Don’t wait for disaster.
Add a lifeline before you reach the tricky part. A few extra minutes can save hours of knitting.
No tears in knitting!😄
