When a machine knitter discovers a serious mistake, it becomes necessary to frog stitch back, which if done in stockinette, even makes a "ribbit" sound as the yarn is pulled from the bed of needles -- carefully so that the previous row is popped up on into the open latches. It is almost fun to do. Some of us get to be very good at it. Lots of practice....
Take a look at a map of London: See the shape of Kensington Gore? There you go - the original gore, now built all over! :)

One term that I think originated on the 'Net is "sewist" ... a term which will not be confused with "sewer"
I think this may have been invented by Teri Jones. She used to use it on the old AOL sewing board long before we both migrated over here.
Olwyn Mary in New orleans.
I've seen the term in older sewing books but I have no idea where. Maybe its a regional thing.
The BBC feature for Word of Mouth will be going out next tuesday 19th at 4.00
