Tip #5: Embrace Lifelines

Lifelines are a knitter's safety net, especially for complex or intricate projects. A lifeline is a thread that is inserted through a row of stitches, providing a reference point to unravel in case of mistakes or pattern errors. By periodically inserting lifelines, you can mitigate the risk of having to start your project from scratch. Use a contrasting color thread or dental floss as a lifeline, and remember to update it after successfully completing challenging sections.
