We've all been there at some point: something goes terribly wrong in your knitting and you feel like all those hours upon hours that went into your project were wasted. That's it, you're just going to rip the whole thing out and reuse the yarn or worse - you're just throwing it out.
In many cases it's really not that bad. Remember that we've been knitting for a thousand years and are not the first to run into the problem. There are fixes!
Holes in your knitting may appear like a huge disaster, but as Cheryl Brunette so eloquently states, relax - nobody is bleeding out and your stove top didn't catch fire. It's just a hole. She goes on to demonstrate how, with a little bit of patience, courage and skill, you can easily fix holes beautifully and make it seem as if the disaster never happened.
Even if you don't have a hole to fix right now, and even if you're not advanced enough to tackle this yet, I recommend you watch it either way. This is definitely something that needs to be in every knitter's repertoire to avoid high blood pressure.
