I am working on a chevron lace sock and I was talking to my girlfriend about her wedding and managed to lose a stitch. I cannot see a dropped stitch so I must have not "made" enough ... I'm a couple rounds past the mistake so I have to tink back like 300 stitches....I almost rather frog it and start over again. I really HATE tinking.
OH, man....the same thing happened to me, and I was already down to decreasing for the toe. I could see the stitch, and I started unknitting.... and then I got so mad and frustrated... and then... well, I'm not much help. I do feel your pain, though!
You definatly have my sympathies!
I'm a fairly new knitter, and just started my first sock. I'm pretty sure I've tinked as much as I've knitted...but I'm perservering, and so can you!
Go forth and tink, good lady!
It will be worth it in the end.
And in the end, you will forget your tinking and only remember your knitting and have a wonderful pair of fantastic socks to reward you.
So tink... tink your heart out...
Then serve yourself the beverage of your choice in a lovely hot bath, preferably with bubbles and candles.

Before you tink make sure you are indeed missing a stitch I have counted like 4 times before and on the last time I realized I wasn't missing one at all,then there was the time I was missing a stitch so I tinked back a few rounds and realized that the stitch I was missing was just a yo at the end of the last round!
Do you mean there are projects completed that never required any tinking? I have never completed a project without a little tinking, some requiring more frequent application than others. I generally alternate that with having to get out the crochet hook and bringing up a dropped stitch.
Go forth and tink it's part of the knitting process as near as I can tell.

I am with ya there. I start tinking, then I get frustrated, tink a bit further, get more frustrated, keep tinking, curse, then frog. I've started this same pair of toe-up socks four times to date.

Oh, I so feel your pain! I'm currently working on a sock (for me. Which will become part of a pair, I swear!) and have goofed on the pattern twice. I've already frogged the whole thing twice. I'm no good at tinking socks. So when I goofed this time I said to myself "Self. These are for you. It's not worth it and it looks kind of cool. Leave it alone." So I did. I'm so delusional and in my world. But, it's okay, they know me there.
