I am something of a perfectionist when I knit, and frogging is my friend. Most reently I ripped our seven or eight inches of a stockingette and seed stitch combo because I realised I was knitting the two stitches at a different tension and it was warping the fall of the fabric. This probably wouldn't have mattered, and I'm likly to be the only one who ever noticed, but it was annoying me, so I started over, taking care to knit more loosely on the seed portion.
Any one like me out there?

It depends on my mood, and why i'm making the project. If i'm in one of my perfectionist moods, i frog at the first sign of possible mistake. If not, and the project isn't like... a birthday present for somebody i really care about, or something i'm going to see every day.... then i don't care a much. 3nodding

Unfortunately, I'm a firm believer that I am not perfect.... so neither is my knitting. I will, however, drop a few stitches to fix a SSK/K2TOG with a yarn over a few rows below. Most of the time, I just say "******** it" and leave it in. No one's gonna notice but me anyways. sweatdrop

I don't do well with dropped stitches....but have only dropped them two or three times in my knitting career.
I usually pick it up where the loop fell and just keep knitting, it looks fine.

Whenever in the beginning of my knitting I feel something is wrong, I just HAVE to rip it out and start over again... it drives me crazy and usually others can't find any flaws in it...

I've ripped my stupid socks so many times it's not even funny. Wrong yarn, wrong gauge, too small needles, too big needles... It better work this time.

It depends on the project.
The sweater I'm making for my husband? I'll frog, since I want it to fit right.
A project for myself? only if the problem is glaring. Like my triangle shawl gaining an hourglass figure. sweatdrop
Something for sale? I'll only leave the most minor and invisible mistakes.

I don't know enough about knitting to care, lol. redface
I'm making a scarf right now (first thing I've knitted) for my boyfriend, and I noticed it's really weird looking, but I don't care. Not like the guys at his yeshiva are going to be all inspecting it, and he won't care. I don't care. Maybe later one when I get into more complicated stuff I'll care, but I don't really think I will. (the only thing that bugs me, is if I get off a pattern. like 1,2,1,2,1,2 then i accidently do 2,2,1,2 <- That'd annoy me.)

hyper_azn_girl I'll frog it depending on if i knit or crochet it if i knit it, most likely i won't. if i crochet it, most likely i will Same. Frogging in knitting makes me nervous and I normally end with as many mistakes as I had before, only in a shorter project. But I'm darn good at frogging in crochet and often do at the drop of a hat.
