Beautiful! Great job -- congrats, and thanks for the resources/demo for when (not if) this happens to the rest of us.

bravissimarge!

I knew you could do it! I just knew it. WOO HOO for you.

I'm so impressed! I performed very minor surgery on my second-ever sweater, just to rip out a boud-off edge, and it gave me confidence to try and fix other mistakes that I know are down the road. I can't wait to see how you did it.

Very cool Cara! That is amazing. Thanks also for the link. I miscross a cable all the time so this is indeed helpful.

Sweet! Glad to see it is working out ok for you. And thanks for the link, you've saved a lot of people a lot of frogging!!

But at least you'll sleep!

WOW! Very impressive. Gotta bookmark that one!

You are the woman! Well done!!

image is broken to me but maybe its my internet :(

Yay!!! I am sure that was a great relief.

Yay!!!

Peace of cake;-)

Nice save! Your sweater is going to look great!

Wow. I am impressed.

I know this has been painful but WOW what a public service to know you can FIX it this way. Margene is a GOD. Bigger than MINERVA!

xox Kay

That is amazing! I am so happy to see that this fix works! I might be confident enough to try this myself next time I make a mistake!

round of applause in your honor :o)

Cara, you absolutely ROCK! And I second the comment about the public service you have done -
We'll all be spared some pain at some time in the future. How scary to cut the yarn, but maybe even I could do it now if/when I need to.
I can't wait to see finshed photos of your sweater.

Wowee weewah. Way to do a dry run that totally worked on the first try! I popped over to that tutorial, and that shit looked hard. It hurt my brain. Bad. So, I am so happy for you. Know that I will come crying on your virtual shoulder should the same fate befall any future items of mine. Because you kick Roman ass.

Hooray for Cara!!! We salute you!

Woohoo!

Great news.

Hooray!

I'm still dizzy, but it looks as though things will be fine.
Ugh. And now I need to get Rome! All will be well. All will be well. All will be well.

I can't tell where you fixed the cable (although I have a hunch based on what the rest of the swatch looks like). I certainly hope you'll document what you do and put together a tutorial!

You must be a witch. That is freaking awesome!!

Yay! *celebratory dance goes here*

Bravo!!
We knew you could do it.

Brava!

Wow...I'm impressed. I can't wait to hear about how you did it. I'm glad that you don't have to rip back, that would have been so painful!

Oh yay! I am so glad this is going to work! Reading your last post, I was laughing, because let's face it, you're FUNNY. But it was guilty laughter, because I knew you had to be SICK about that cable. Everything works out in the end though, because what all started with you taking control over your knitting lead you to learn a new trick ... that will help you be the boss of your knitting!

Hurrah! I'm very happy that you can breath again (and sleep!)
One of the benefits of learning to fix an error is that it gives you more courage to tackle hard projects. The knowledge that you can 'just fix it' if you make a mistake will give you wings.
Here's hoping for no more learning experiences on this sweater, though....

This is one of those things you hope you won't have to know how to do but know there's really no chance of that so you'd better bookmark it so DAYUM am I glad it worked so nicely.

Oh, for you and all those worried about the Bridge to Terebithia film, check this out;

It might help. And this particular blogger is not only a respected children's librarian, she's also the daughter of the one and only Rams. Which by extension makes her one of us, even if she says she doesn't want to knit.

looks great!

Brilliant!

Yay, I'm so glad it worked for you. I hope it goes as well on the sweater itself as it did on the swatch.

drinks all around!!

You have crossed over,,,,, and earned the title "Knitting Genius"! Congratulations...... as I an NO WHERE near that level .... I salute you! :)
Have a great day

I knew you could! :-)

The first try ... amazing. Can't wait to see pics.

Wow, that looks great! You kick ass.

The first sweater I ever knit was a massive, be-cabled gansey. And being an inexperienced knitter at the time, I noticed a mistake low in the back but figured I could fix it *after the sweater was finished!!* I have regretted that naive decision for the last 10 years. But I'm so excited that you linked to this technique, and that you're having success with it! Not to benefit from your sorrows, but here's hoping I'll be able to fix mine too :).
Thanks!

Go Marge! That is awesome Cara. Thanks for sharing the tutorial. Now go show that silly cable who's boss.

Awesome. Smashing. Wunderbar.
I've had to undo some pretty complicated cablework because I had made a mistake in the easy part. If I ever do that again – and I'm sure I will – I know how to deal with it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this tutorial.

Awesome. Gives a whole new meaning to Cablevision.

so to clarify- if you're working a say 4x4 cable you snip the stitch closest to the center....?

Doesn't matter that much as long as you unravel to the right spot, correct?
