Continue unseaming the knit object.
Continue using your blunt tapestry needle as shown in the pictures to gently lift out the seam stitches. Use your scissors to snip off the seam yarn as you go.

A little hint here...on a commercial sweater you can usually find a chain of stitches on one side of the seam. Look for the point of the "V" in the chain, rip one link, then pull out in the direction of the "V". Makes much quicker work of ripping the seams!!! :)
