I don't know how I did it, but I am knitting along on my lace pattern, and the k3 p3 from the row below has turned into k2 p4, PANIC!!! started to rip it out and go back to my lifeline (16 rows below where I am working since I figured I haven't needed it yet, why should I need it now?) when I remember how to pick up dropped stitches, that the knit is just the opposite of the purl, so why can't I use a crochet hook to reverse the stitch? so I dropped down to the row before, took that stitch off the needle and flipped it around, way better than reworking 16 rows! I am so glad I am a spatial learner!

explained it to my son who couldn't figure out why I was so happy, and he says, "Greek to me, but hey Ma...(big pause)...AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!" I love it when they realize I did something that makes me feel smart.

I'm so glad you figured it out before you frogged! I've not had that happen with a complicated lace pattern but I have frogged and then realized I didn't have to. Kid cheering sections are the best!!
It is a great feeling to have saved yourself so much time, effort and frogging. It also gives you greater confidence the next time that whatever goes wrong, you can figure it out and fix it.
Good for you, knitter!
Sweet deal and congratulations! Isn't it just the best feeling when you figure something like this out before ripping it out?
...AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!!
