In this DROPS video we show how to put a lifeline into your knitting.
When you knit lace and other patterns adding a so called lifeline can save you a lot of trouble. After finishing a full repeat of pattern, sew a strand of yarn, or like we do a strand of dental floss through all sts on needle. If you then a few rows later mess up, you can easily and safe unravel back to the sts on the lifeline, put sts back on needle and give it a new shot. After next repeat, add one more lifeline. Using dental floss is great since you will not have any trouble pulling it out of the work later, and also being thin but never will break.

Please be very careful if using dental floss. It can cut through your yarn, just as it is meant to cut through dental plaque (tartar) that has hardened between your teeth. My preference is a different color piece of yarn ...

Fantastic idea, will be using this later as I've messed up on my cable pattern. If only I came across this idea earlier, but will use from now on. Kind regards and many thanks.

Awesome!!! Great tip and very helpful. Now I have to make sure I buy unflavered dental tape for my knitting! Although minty fresh knitting may not be a bad idea :)
