When this happens I just unpick a little at the affected area, pull the yarn to try to fix it. This seems to work most of the time. The Project This bag is from the book by Kasuyo Nakamura. I like this book a lot because it has a innovative patterns which range from intermediate to advanced difficulty, and are light summer knits which can be used in Singapore.
