I’m glad you found a middle ground! I hate to rip out my knitting but I also know myself and know that some imperfections will bug and haunt me. Others I can live with and consider it the personality of a hand-knit piece.
I’m glad you decided to stick with your increases. Thank you for sharing your process, how you came about to being comfortable with the increases. I’ve had my moments (to frog or not to frog) but I’ve never thought of washing my WIP to “preview” my work. Excellent idea. Thanks also for the book recommendation. Safe travels!
All good stuff Sandi! I get you on the head scratching of "What is my favorite increase for a reverse knit?" Will look forward to your seeking a best way forward! Must say I do like the way you have created your Marl of the yarns. Very pretty! Thank you for the book review, I will look forward to reading Our Evenings and also checking out Farm & Fiber Knits.
Sliding those stitches off onto that tubing makes it easy to test-block a work-in-progress—no worry about damaging my wooden needles, and much quicker than threading a piece of waste yarn through.
My favorite is a newer knitting publication: Farm & Fiber Knits. They launched the digital publication just over a year ago, and published the first of what is planned to be an annual print issue last Fall. https://newsletter.farmfiberknits.com

Loved seeing your solution!
Thanks for the linked tip of what you use for stitch holders & your favorite knitting magazine & of course the books - my list is getting long!
