I dropped stitches back, but...
So, crap. I haven't the foggiest idea if I'm going to be able to fix this one. It's one thing to drop stockinette, quite another to drop star stitch. But I shudder at the thought of ripping back 2/3 of the star stitch rows and redoing them. My hands are still swollen from round one!I'm soothing myself with Clapotis:
I realize that some people [you know who you are!] hate this colorway, but I love it, and even if you didn't love it you could close your eyes and just enjoy the silk/wool combo running through your fingers. Sundara Silky Merino DK. Ahhh. It's balm to the soul AND the hands. I'm making good progress on reknitting since the great ripping.

Oh, dear. Sending patience your way...
How annoying. This isn't fair at all! Have you figured out a way to pick it up or is it Frog City?
Oy! ;( How very annoying - I hope you've found a way to fix it! Fingers crossed!
This is starting to sound a lot more ouchy than I expected for knitting.
Is it normal to get swollen hands? Or is that a function of the Turbo Overdrive knitting speed?
deep breath. find your happy place. i totally understand your pain. can't tell you how many times i've !@#%% up a pattern and had to frog back...you'd think i would learn from lace knitters and use a lifelines or something.
