Rip out beginning of project?

Rip out beginning of project?

Newbie here! I was sloppy with my first couple rows and now that I've got things figured out, I want to take them out so the whole piece is even. My instructor had showed us a method for cutting out mistakes from the working end of the piece - would it be the same for cutting out from the beginning end of a piece? Can I just cut and rip out the first 2-3 rows and then tie it off and weave in my ends there? Is there a better way?

(If it matters, I'm using the Korgen stitch.)

Thank you in advance!!

When you deliberately make mismatched socks

After someone had pointed out in a post that it'll never be 100% the same between one sock and the other, I decided to just MAKE them mismatched. I mean, why not?

Finally finished a potholder after over a month

Would'vefinished faster, but it sat for a bit. Based off the yellow/orange crochet one. About 149 sts to start, about 155 after increasing. Came out a bit small, I think I would go bigger next time. Finnish 2+2 F2.

First real project

This is my first real Nålbinding project other than a couple of really simple pouches. First time working Oslo stitch, and it'll hopefully keep my coffee warmer than the pot alone.

Question about non-superwash wool attachment

I'm still fairly new to nålbinding and has only ever done work with NSW wool yarn. I have this beautiful yarn but it's superwash merino. I have no idea how to attach one length of yarn to the working wool.

What is the best way to attach yarn that isn't feltable?

First real project done!

I learned how to nalbind last fall and I've been so hesitant to start a proper first project with a (hopefully) useful outcome. Well, this week with the onset of summer weather, I apparently decided it was the perfect time to learn how to nalbind a pair of mittens! They're a little janky in spots (too tall fingers on one, weird narrowed top on the other, slightly short thumbs and slightly tight wrists) but perfectly usable overall, and made with a lovely soft wool that feels like it will be very warm!

I'm definitely inspired to make more 'big' projects now. I'm thinking of attempting fingerless gloves, and hoping they could make a good, relatively quick craft for gifts to friends and/or family.
