/fa/ - Fashion

Decided to do some quick alterations on the neck of a jumper I knitted a while ago, and it turned into also ripping out the hem and sleeve ribbing. Then decided to try to save a bit of time by picking up the live stitches on the front hem I'd ripped back to rather than putting in a lifeline of any kind.

Long story short there were over a hundred of unsecured live stitches (the little end loops on the picture) out waiting to be picked up and any one of them slipping without me noticing results in a dropped stitch and unravelling. Didn't drop anyway but it was more stressful than it needed to be.
Always use a lifeline friends.
