RIP IT! RIP IT! RIP IT!
Hi Guys, I'm Kristen and Welcome to Red Nose Day here at Studio Knit!
Today is going to be a fun one! I want to thank Walgreens for sponsoring and collaborating
with me on this video we are going to be frogging with flair. And as cute as this nose is, it's
really hard to talk with it on, so I am going to select from some of the other Walgreens
Red Nose Day Flair that I have over here. Yes! There we go, I also have this really
cute little necklace right here and there are so many fun items with flair that you
can proudly wear. It is a way to lift children out of poverty worldwide and you simply can
go to your local Walgreens they have this whole Red Nose Day section that you can go
over to and there's all kinds of fun items to pick from and the proceeds go to the Red
Nose Day charities. So let's talk about FROGGING WITH FLAIR! What are we talking about? Okay,
so I already explained a little bit about the Walgreens Red Nose Day Flair. Flair also
means doing things with panache, having fun, style, you know, the way that we are always
when we're knitting, right, guys? So I have this little swatch right here and in it I
accidentally dropped some stitches you can see this little hole right here. And you know
sometimes I feel like in knitting if you've made a mistake it's totally cool to just carry
on and you know, it has character, right? But there are circumstances like this one
where it could continue to unravel right in this area and then your whole piece is no
good, but there is a way to salvage it. What we're going to do is, we are going to go down
beyond the area that has the mistake and we are going to retain this little section of
perfection and then we're going to move on. Super simple. I'm going to show you three
different ways that you can frog down and by doing so, we are going to take our yarn
off our needle, we are going to rip it, RIP IT, RIP IT. Get it? FROGGING! With FLAIR!
Way number one is to simply keep ripping all the way to the mistake and beyond. And then
simply take your needle and put it right into your stitches. The second way is to create
a lifeline which is to take your tapestry needle and yarn and you simply pick up the
stitches, I take the right leg under the right leg under the right leg under the right leg
and so we have our white yarn right here. When that's done, you simply rip it down to
your white yarn and from there you can put your needle back into your yarn. Now the third
way is to simply take a knitting needle and put it into your stitches right here again
just like we did with the tapestry needle and yarn we're going to go under this right
leg under the right leg under the right leg all the way through, rip down to your knitting
needle and from there just carry on. So I hope you guys are inspired to fix your knitting
mistakes with flair. I get this question a lot. I know that when you're a beginning knitter
it's very frustrating when you worked really hard and every stitch counts, trust me, I
know every stitch counts. And it can feel a little bit painful to rip out your stitches,
but you know what? In the end, just like in life, you carry on, you move forward, and
you're better for it, right? Oh and they have a hashtag every week this week is doing a
groupie selfie, so join me in getting some flair getting some friends taking some photos
having some fun. And thanks for watching, guys! Bye!
