Okay, I am jumping on the bandwagon. But, I may have started on the wrong path. I have created a design. With no experience other than observation of the overall rhythm of how they seem to be. The sizes. The normally symmetrical way they are set up. I chose a not so perfectly centered way to do it. The balance is still there I think, visually.
The point? Well maybe I should try another design to get the assembly part of it done. Then I can apply it to what I am doing. Sort of learn the ropes so to speak and go from there.
But it is so much more fun to be able to do it all on my own.
Oh this is a test stitch. Once I have it looking fairly decent I plan to post the pattern.
Knitting
**Just how do you restart a messed up section in knitting?*** I was going along and realized a few rows too late that I should have started it not as wide, or however that's said. I was going to make a scarf for myself and sort of lost the gusto once I messed up and and the weather changed so much. Funny, it's snowing again and I want to work on the scarf.
And I need to make a little something to practice different stitches. Something sort of practical. Not something to just toss aside or away when I am done. Ideas?

What I usually do when I've done something wrong or missed a "stitch" (what's that called in english? it's a "worm" in swedish & norwegian...)is take the pins out and pull the tread until I've gotten to the part where I did the wrong. Then it's just a matter of picking up the can of worms again on the pins, and start over.
Not much advice, I know, but that's what I do...
(((good knitting vibes)))
If the issue is that too many stitches were cast on in the first place - there's two solutions: start over or decrease evenly over a couple of rows. There's a couple of methods to decrease but the simplest is to knit two stitches together or ssk (slip, slip, knit) and both of these methods are easily searchable with instructions on the net.
I'm finding that you have to be very detail oriented with knitting, you can't fudge it to hide a mistake the way you can sometimes in crochet. I find myself pulling the tread until I've gotten to the part I've messed up a couple of times in the same project.:P
Hope things work well for you!
