Knot comes loose?
Oct 24th, 2008 by knittingclub in knitting
So I've been having some trouble frogging a long dormant sock project. I brought it on to knit night with the trust that somebody might have insight into what in the man I did to earn this thing seemingly indestructible. Seriously, this matter does not wish to unravel.Granted, I probably created more trouble for myself when I brazenly decided to cut a random strand from the toe because I couldn't obtain the woven in end. Still, you'd believe that this sock would dissolve fairly easily after that, even if it didn't mean losing a little yarn in the process. Nope.Part of the job appears to be that the yarn split in one or two places and has created a mile in the toe decrease that I can't rip past. My fellow knit nighters helped salvage it to where the sock will rip up to this point, so there are 3 potential ways to solve the matter.One, I can finish undoing the range on row and run from there. It's feasible but slow. Through this work I am learning that I'm doing well enough with running the sick on end into the picture that I shouldn't have anything inadvertently coming undone there.Two, I can keep ripping around the infantry and letting the unraveled yarn pool around this one problematic decrease section. In theory this will work, but it also creates the potentiality for many more tangles and a rat's nest of unraveled yarn about the crisis area.Three, I can see out how to loosen the mile or knots in the point that's the origin of all this consternation. This is probably the better solution, although as I've fiddled with it since coming home, it's going to take a lot of patience.I'm calling off any further attempts for tonight, but I'm hoping to seize this mess over the weekend.
