"Sometimes when you're knitting, and you found you've made a mistake, and it's maybe just one row back, you have to unknit. And a safe way to do that, rather than just taking it off the needles and ripping it out, is to do it one stitch at a time. And when you do this, you're going to insert your needle from back to front, and you're going to go into the loop below the stitch on the needle, put it on your right hand needle, pull it off, and pull the yarn. So you're going to go under the stitch that's on the needle, put that safely on your right hand needle, and pull out the yarn. And you'll keep doing this, putting it in the stitch below, and this way as you go across, your stitches will be faced the way you want them to be, but you'll get to work back to wherever your mistake was safely, without losing any stitches. And it's pretty much the same, whether you're doing this from the knit side or the purl side. And keep going across, and this is how you unknit a row, stitch by stitch. Right up to the very last one, and so I've taken out that purl row that we've just did on the reverse side."
