Repairing a mistake in a cable way Up !!!!
I am knitting cables , and i always knit them opposite i.e. if the
cable on the right side turns right the cable onnthe left side will turn left ,,,,, thus Imagine my face when i saw that some where , Up and Far away from the place i knit , one turn was turned the wrong way ,,,,, i decided to try and unknit only the cable ,,, i pushed my knitting needle in the place Under the wrong turn ripped all rows counted them ,,, and than using dp reknitted Only those 4 stitiches all the way without having to rip out any other stit ,, it takes patience one might use a Crochet hook from time to time for the 4th st. when thread seems to short ,, but it can be done !!!! mirjam |

I've done that, too! It's more tedious than difficult. With several
U-shaped cable pins it's a bit easier, particularly if the phone rings, but it does make for a LONG evening! |

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one; I think.it makes for a better overall look. I've done ribbit stitch all the way down one pattern piece too, when I could not make the error a "feature." Not fun! |
