Thank you sooooooo much. You made this so easy. I LOVED when you said "Even if all of your stitches come out twisted, at least they are consistent". This made my heart open up! You said it was okay to have twisted stitches! If I do have them, I guarantee they will not be consistent but just the fact you gave me permission to have them. Basically, what I heard was "the stitches will be fine, just get them back on the needle." TMI! Thx.

Hi there knittysue, When you say, show how to rip out the bee stitch, do you mean tink (a.k.a. un-knit) it out? You might check out my video about Tinking. For the bee st in particular, make sure you put the needle thru the 2 strands that the working yarn passes thru when tinking. And always insert the LH needle from front to back, holding your work with the working yarn attached to the RH needle.
