Someone told me that when her gran taught her to crochet, the first thing she (the gran) did was teach her to chain and make her chain and entire skein, yank it out, and chain it again. I think that's a great way to get someone used to the idea that yanking it out is just part of crochet. Sometimes you can futz it (and I'm quite happy to do so whenever possible), but often you can't. I wish I'd had that part taught to me early on. I'm teaching some girls to crochet, and I often stress, just yank it out and re-do it.
Today, I had to yank out 4 rows of something I'm making. It's a moderately complex stitch pattern with 4 rows of different stitches, and the error didn't show up until I got to that spot on the next pattern repeat. Grrrr.

But yeah, older and less impatient. :-)
