So pull the stitch next to the mistake, then the one after that, and so on, leaving a little extra yarn in each stitch. You are bound by your next set of yarn overs, and will limit how far you can take the extra yarn. I hope this makes sense! Your shawl is beautiful!

I just wanted to say how beautiful your shawl is! I really like how the subtle varigations in the color add so much depth to the look of the shawl and bring out the pattern.
