There are times when I rip out knitting and other times I just don't care if there is a design flaw. Last September I gave my little sister some handspun yarn. I gave her a 'failure proof' scarf pattern. Only she could misintrepet k2, p2 as knit 2 rows, purl 2 rows. Now, normally, that could be okay but her knitting reminded me of my dear mom (rest her soul) who could add and subtract stitches in a scarf. My sister also couldn't follow 2 row repeats. She did ask me to rip it out. I explained what k2, p2 meant; and away I went. I ended up knitting the scarf while watching the Butler/UConn final game. It came out beautiful. Too bad my sister doesn't like her picture on the web. Technophobe :)
