My mother (born in 1924) always said that the first thing she learned about knitting was that the three basic stitches are knit, purl, and rip (undo previous work).

Ahh Seattle, my home town. How is it faring these days? We have not been able to go back to our condo-friends and family there for almost two years now.
So true. Those of us who remember it before the freeway, before Amazon, can get quite nostalgic about it’s past. It’s funny but the small Welsh town were I live now is quite a bit like Seattle in the 50’s. Butcher, bakery, you know everyone on your street. My husband, who spent time in it as a youth remembers all the things that are gone now that he says made it better than now. I guess regretting change is just human. But embracing the the good, interesting and new keeps a person moving forward...the only way to go.
Joan, I learned a term, tink (the alphabetic opposite of knit), for undoing your work, one stitch at a time. One of many things I learned from Knitting Paradise, an online forum. ☺️

In the construction world, we call it 'New construction remodeling' whenever you have to take apart what you just built.

It really depends on who you ask. Seattle is a marvelous city from my perspective, and I've been here since 1980.
