Tinking

Tink. Unkint. Knit backwards.  What ever you want to call it it's better than Frogging (Rip it, ripit, ripit out) and starting over.  Maybe.   Let me explain.

I'm knitting along just minding my own business. Read not paying attention to what I'm doing. You know cuz since I started knitting what? 3 weeks ago I'm now an expert knitter and I don't need to check my work. HA!  This is what happens

Not that tiny little hole, I could live with that.  It is after all, a hand made sweater.  No it's those dozen or so PURL stitches.  Yea um, they should have been KNIT!  And had I at the very least been LOOKING at what I was doing I would have seen the mistake right away but nnooooooo!  I continued to work 3 more rows before checking my work.  My punishment?  Tink, tink, tink.  That should teach me.  Should being the operative word.  Have I mentioned that I'm getting really good at Tinking?
