The thing about knitting, as opposed to crocheting, is that if I am crocheting and I do something that I decide that I don't like 10 rows later, I can just take the hook out, pull the yarn, and eventually end up back before I made the bad decision. If I'm knitting, I can do that and hope to god that I get all the stitches back on the needles right, or I can knit backwards back to the bad decision point.
This means that, if I'm knitting, I am so much less likely to go back and fix things because it is so much of a bigger deal when I do.
Except that now I really have to because I really hate the way this looks. Which means unknitting 7 rows that are over 200 stitches long each. It took me about two hours to knit those 7 rows. It will probably take me that long to unknit them.
Grar.
