2 little stitches

Sherri10

What’s this you say? Two lonely little stitches. Runaway’s? Prison Break wanna be’s?

Nothing like dropping two stitches in a lace piece and NOT EVEN NOTICING!

Frickin’ hell.

  1. Ouch, that hurts. Just as much as frogging 32 rows as I did in the beginning.
    Could you not just add the missing stitches somehow?

  2. Nope – I am a lace novice so I couldn’t “fake” it at all. In fact, I ended up frogging back to the lifeline which was the start of this clue.

    So, back to the drawing board. Knit 1 Frog 3.

    Sigh.

  3. Had a similar problem. Have religiously been counting my stitches after every row and found I was missing one and in the process of tinking it back to find it I lost 2 more. I was only just onto clue 2 so chucked it all and have restarted – hope that is the last of the frogs for you. take care Liz

  4. I feel your pain Liz…after frogging 10 rows…and then another 10, I decided that I needed to back away and go spin some alpaca. A glass of chardonnay would not go down too badly either.

    I’ll come back when the stole and I are on speaking terms again.

     

  5. … and I don’t even have a “stole with which” to NOT speak. I had just about finished CLUE 1…
    which was bad enough after all this time… when yesterday morning I counted one too few stitches on row 100-something. First I (( tink ))’d a few rows TRYING to find that stitch… and ended up frogging the ENTIRE STOLE. Uuuuuuuuuugh!
    I’m going to begin again in the AM…. MAYBE !
    (( s m i l e )). Yeah – I’m still (( s m i l i n g ))…
    but don’t tell the STOLE.

  6. I came oh so close Gloria….what I started doing once I got on the straight part, was to put a stitch marker on either side of the centre stitch  – that made it very apparent if I was out of whack. One side has 49 stitches and one has 50. Much easier to count.

  7. Wish I were close enough to have fixed that for you. With this pattern I think I could have worked them up for you. Oh, well, you will be back to the same point very quickly.

  8. *drsch* But you’re a clever girl, the lifeline is not far away 🙂 Hope this will be the last frogging you’ll have to do

  9. That stinks. I am not a lace novice and one of the things I STILL can’t do is try and pick up stitches if their dropped. You’re lucky it didn’t unravel. I would have to tink back the rows to where I dropped the sts and work it back up again.

  10. Gee, you have a lifeline! I usually don’t use one (maybe I should).

    Whenever I have dropped a stitch or two, I look at the pattern. If I can unravel that part and re-knit, I’ll do so. Sometimes, I will take a separate yarn, and with a needle, make the stitch. And then, sometimes I just have to shake my head, utter a cuss word, and f-r-o-g.
