Thank you so much! You helped get me beyond an epic mistake for a newbie.

[@RosyPosy1970]

Thank you so much for this video 😊 Now I don’t have to rip back rows and rows of knitting ♥️ So nice to know we are all making the same blanket!

[@Knittingilove]

You are welcome. I haven’t knit a stitch on it for a long while. I need to work on it a bit ☺️

[@Dory_Darko]

Thank you so much for this clear and concise video! Now I'm much less frightened of starting an entire sweater in fisherman's rib!

[@Knittingilove]

Tag me so I can see your progress 😃👍🏻

Thanks for this. I found a dropped stitch just after I had moved my lifeline in my 2 colour, 52 inch Fisherman's Rib scarf. I was prepared to staple the stitches if I had to. Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@Knittingilove]

I’m glad the video helped ♥️😃👍🏻

Thanks for sharing. I'm knitting ona Bits and Bobs blanket also and have done the same thing. I just picked it up with a piece of yarn and weaved it in.

[@Knittingilove]

Great idea!

Worked like a charm....thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to fix my stitch! :)

[@Knittingilove]

LittleMing Knits I’m so happy I explained it well so 💕😊👍🏻 I really wanted to show you what to look for just in case 🥰

[@joanoltman3555]

Love this stitch and am making a blanket also. Can you show how to fix multiple (4) stitches dropped . My son’s dog got her paw caught and pulled them off the needle.😢

[@Knittingilove]

Oops 😬 I don’t have any project to use to show but just maybe grab a ladder and knit as you normally do

[@joanoltman3555]

@@Knittingilove thank you for responding! Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos so much. You inspire me to try new things!

I am knitting a "Barn Raising Baby Blanket" by Caffie Knits. I got it on Ravelry ages ago and thought it 2ould be perfect for my daughter who is having my 3rd grandbaby.

[@nadine6388]

thank you so much!!!!!! this really helped!

[@Knittingilove]

I am so happy to hear that.

[@anitawessels3932]

Thanks for this tutorial

[@Knittingilove]

Always welcome

[@fralou1]

Did you do this for me lol. Love your fix upper. Lol. Thank you. My problem is not so much dropping a strand but forgetting to knit bellow or making a knit below instead of knitting. Thank you

[@Knittingilove]

Francine st-denis Yes, I did 😋💕 I presume you can implement this technique to that too. Can you?

[@fralou1]

Knitting I Love I don’t know Barbara. I ripped mine out again lol. No one did a video, except you, while holding 2 yarns. This is why I didn’t know what to pick up. So whenever I tried it didn’t work. However, I didn’t know how to fix it either if I dropped one strand. I did rip out for that reason too. I’m going to restart my blanket one more time. Hopefully I’ll not make mistakes before I put a lifeline in lol. I decided to put a lifeline every 10 rows. Wish me luck. Thank you again for your well done tutorial. xoxo from Canada.

[@Knittingilove]

Francine st-denis Sebs me a message on IG if you drop a strand. I might help

[@fralou1]

Knitting I Love thank you I will. I was actually thinking of making a sample to study, but the yarn I was thinking is only 1 strand. So I’ll have to try using minis lol

[@valeriejohnson1043]

Thanks - I have one mistake and I'm terrified to try to fix it. You make it look easy. I'm making the same blanket with Row One Yarn club minis

[@Knittingilove]

You can do it!

[@Tina-gi1ot]

Thanks for that helped a lot. I would love to see color work of some kind. Maybe do a hat together or mittens.

[@Knittingilove]

Noted! I do have a video how I knit a colour work on this channel - just letting you know as you may want to watch it - thank you for the new ideas

I just got this pattern which I thought would be such an easy knit. I’m having so much trouble just getting it started. The pattern says cast on 181 stitches then knit one row. The next thing says on the right side K1 (K1 down below, etc., etc., But After I knit that first row after the cast on, I’m on the wrong side, am I not? I’ve started over about three times already. The stitches seem hard for me to read. It shouldn’t be this difficult. 😩. Am I just not seeing something? Thanks for showing how to fix dropped stitches. If I ever get this going I’m going to use a life line for sure. TFS

[@Knittingilove]

Just go and send an email to designer for some help. I don't remember how I started it and to be honest I don't remember when I reached out to knit on my blanket lately. Yes it is still in progress. I might record Blanket in Progress video just to show how much have I done so far as the finished object video may not be done this year. I hope designer will help you to figure it out. As you know it is a paid for pattern so I can't say anything

[@reubenk1615]

Fisherman's rib stitch is so amazing yet deceptively difficulty to fix, especially when knitting a single shade where it's all the same color. You just don't know which is the right sequence of over under under pick up & under all 3. There has to be a way to get it. How do you have your edges? I do mine as slip knitwise, purl, knit one bellow. Gives a nice rounded edge actually when not messed up

[@Knittingilove]

The stitch is so squishy and yes tricky to fix. I haven’t knitted on the blanket for a while now but as I’m following a paid for pattern I think I can’t share

[@Cerecia61]

I'm knitting on the Cowl by Kay and something weird has happened and I have no idea how to fix it. I'm a Patreon of the Bakery Bears Podcast so if you are then I can post my photo there or??

[@Knittingilove]

Hi Diana, I don’t have a cowl version it is probably different as you knit in a round not front and back but on the other hand it should be the same look. Maybe you email Kay she might be able to help you. I haven’t knitted it. Actually haven’t touched the blanket for a while 😅

[@Cerecia61]

@@Knittingilove No problems, I have taken photos of my "problem" så I will post it in the Patreon Group and mail Kay about it.

[@brucemooney1277]

First time experimenting with this stitch. Im using a black wool thread held double with black mohair. I can't see shit and I wanna tear my hair out.

[@Knittingilove]

I admire the colour choice 😅👍🏻

Finally got everything back in order :)
