I seem to have irreparably screwed up my current knitting project, which is a very important and personal piece to me. It's the sochi shawl (on ravalry for free) done in bisexual pride colors; I live in a very conservative area that doesn't let me be as open as I wish about who i am, and i found the idea of wearing a subtle emblem of my identity, crafted by my own two hands, to be very comforting and validating. But I dropped a few stitches around a double center increase a few rows back and even though I tried to go back and fix it it's really screwed up, and also one of the stitches seems to have dropped out of existence entirely. The sochi shawl pattern has lots of eyelets, double center decreases, and dropped stitches, so I have no idea how to frog it without screwing it up, and I'm not sure how to weave a lifeline through it. Its pretty far along and it would break my heart to start over from scratch. I don't know many very experienced knitters, and the ones I do know can't help me right now because I'm living away from home for a while. Knitblr, you are my only hope right now. If anyone knows how to thread a lifeline through a complicated shawl or restitch a botched double center decrease, please send me a message and give me a few tips. Finishing this shawl is quite important to me.
