Re: Knitting or crocheting? Does anyone have this hobbie?

the second cream sock got finished
and I am on to a shawl
that I started 3 times
and had to rip back several times once started

now I am using a safety line
which I just learned about
it is when you take a piece of yarn and run it along your stitches on the needle(picking them up)
it means if you drop lace stitches or if you have to rip back you have a place where all your stitches are on the extra yarn and so you know where you are
hope that makes sense
you move the safety line forward as you go, making sure that everything before it is correct
what a life saver
