I got an inch or so done on the cuff of my sock! I know once I get the wheel I’ll be SPIN ALL THE THINGS so I want to get this second sock done ASAP.
Whether or not I start over or rip back really depends on what it is, who it’s intended for, and how bad it is. My son (2) pulled out one of my DPNs on my early ribbing on my current sock and my pick-up was not perfect and it was only 5 rows in, I was like “oh well!”, fixed the stitch count and kept carried on XD I have a shawl (Haruni) that has a big glaring error in the showpiece front, but when I knit that again for my good friend’s wedding shawl, you can bet there’s not a single mistake allowed in that one!
So it really depends. I don’t mind “wasting” work, really. I’m a process crafter. I knit because I like the motions of knitting. I spin because I like the motions. I’m not really fussed about the final product (although I am a serial finisher—I rarely abandon projects). But I think it’s more about whether I think it’s worth the bother for that particular item XD
