Anyone know how to undo knitted sweaters, etc? Crochet is easy, but don't know anything about knitted. Thanks.

First find your seams and take those apart. Then unravel it. If it's a scarf it'll be easy. If it's a sweater, it'll be a little harder since some sweaters are knit differently...the arms may be knitted on dropped stitches from the armhole, same goes for the neck line. They'll be knitted in opposite directions. So start at your cuffs, work your way up the arm, then start at either the neck or the waist...some sweaters are knit top to bottom, others are knit bottom to top.
Or you can just cut all the seams and unravel it from there. Knitting comes undone very easily when it's not sewn together or on needles.

You have to make a cut in a thread at some point - not knowing what you intend to unravel hard saying - but let's say it's a sweater thats too long. make a cut at the bottom at the side seam - you many need to pull on a couple threads or manually undo a stitch before you find the one that will unravel in it's entirety!
