Question by Waterblitz365: How do you fix knitting mistakes like having an extra stitch?

and one more thing. I want the proper way to fix it. If i realize say 10 stitches down. I don’t want to simply let that stitch go.

Question by Kirsten B: What is the best knitting group in seattle?
I am new to seattle and looking for a knitting group in the area. I live in South Seattle, so the closer to there the better, but personality is more important. I am looking for a fun talkative group that meets in the evenings.

Jayney and I are now prolific knitters. We would be involved in a knitting circle if we had the time, but we don’t… and there’s only two of us, which is hardly a circle. More of a line. But we say "Pffft!" to that, we call ourselves Knitting Rhombus and have had tags made to sew onto finished items.

Question by Highly Evolved: What can I do with my deadbeat knitting project?
I have a 10.5w x 7h patch of knitted yarn. At first I was going to make a wide scarf out of it, but that’s kind of boring and I have enough scarves as it is. So I was wondering if I could just get some tips as to what I should either turn it into or start from scratch and just unravel it. Also, if someone could recommend a good knitting pattern site, that’d be rad! Thanks!
