I never heard of life lines before, much less adding them as an afterthought. What a great idea. I've always preferred crocheting to knitting only because it is so easy to rip out if you discover an error. When I knit, I go back stitch by stitch, row by row, and it sometimes takes hours, especially if there were some fancy pattern stitches in there.

If you add the Life Line while you are knitting, it takes zero extra time and effort.

You learn something new every day...and I'm really glad I learned about this today. Thanks!

I have never used one. I guess I don't knit complicated patterns as a rule.

Wow...learn something new every day...it's not unknown for me to have to remove several or more rows, and I always bite the bullet and simply remove the needle holding the stitches....then unravel, but carefully. This generally works well and the worst that happens is I later notice one I missed, that is now a 'ladder'...but, these are easy to reinstate, with a crochet hook. But, with lace patterns, this looks a really good idea, so thanks for sharing what is, for me at least, a new concept.

Thank you for posting this. I am one of the ones who frog stitch by stitch, row by row. Vique.

WOW, after years of knitting my daughter teaches me about tink, and now, I know lifeline.

I have to remember this. GREAT info, great link. Thanks Vickey.
