Ripping back to a Lifeline
If You Mess Up After You Have Placed A Lifeline
If you mess up after you have placed a lifeline and are unable to repair the mistake any other way (such as by tinking, etc), you can safely 'frog' back to your lifeline.
1. Pull your needle out and gently rip the stitches of the mistake-ridden knitting until you reach the lifeline. 
2. Reinsert your knitting needle into the stitches, carefully following the path of the lifeline. Be sure not to split the yarn and get every stitch!
