Lifelines are a must when you are knitting a complicated pattern and want to be able to rip back to a certain point in your work without losing stitches. Super handy if you are knitting lace with lots of yarn-overs, or if the pattern instructions aren’t completely clear for the next step and you just want to try them out but not necessarily commit to the interpretation.
Remember to mark, in some way, the same row in the pattern from the position of your lifeline in the event that you have to continue from that point. One way is to add a series of knots to the lifeline yarn indicating the row.
-----------------------*--*-----------* --*--*------------- is row 23, for example.
