Knitting Help - Slow Motion Correcting a Dropped Cast-On Stitch

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

All of the issues in your playlist of "Fixing Mistakes" has been the reason why I have not started knitting. I bought needles and everything else but then I try and I get mistakes that NO ONE explains in beginner videos!!! They might explain one mistake, the easier, dropping stitches but nothing else. And I get all kind of mistakes.....going into the wrong loop without realizing, the mistake you are showing in the this video and many others that you solved in all of your videos in the fantastic playlist you have of fixing mistakes!!! Thank you so much....now I might try again and feel more confident I can fix those issue without having to start from scratch again.....from casting stitches into my needles!!!! My knitting sections are made of me casting stitches over and over for even 2 hours sometimes.....for each time I make a mistake!!!

7 years of watching your videos and I’m still learning 🤩

[@verypinkknits]

45 years of knitting and I'm still learning, too! :)

[@adalai7649]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Even after 60+ years of knitting, I've never successfully learned to do this. The trick I always missed was twisting that "kinked" strand!

[@cathryncampbell8555]

Thank you for giving those minute, tiny details -- such as how to turn the sharp point of the crochet hook -- which will guarantee a successful repair. You have a genius for delineating each step of a procedure in clear, comprehensible order.

[@gingermccafferty9572]

You are amazing! you have officially covered all the bases of what causes a headache!! Awesome slow mo!

[@christinevalentine3373]

Thank you Staci, it’s very reassuring knowing you are there as my online mentor, I am very grateful! You explain all the details so well.

[@bostonpicker6890]

Omg this has happened to me several times, and my only recourse, out of ignorance, was to rip it out! Thank You!

[@annefranchetto3358]

Thank you The turning your work around is the key! I think I would try picking up the stitch as you did but then move it to the left needle before picking up the lower strand with the crochet hook or needle. I could then manipulate the stitch to open it up more to be able to pull the lower strand through. Your video is perfect. I have been knitting for 65 years, picked up dropped or twisted cable stitches, but never figured this one out and yes 860 stitches with 1 dropped on cast on was always frogged. Wish I had seen this video years ago. You are a genius.

[@stitchy_linn]

Excellent tutorial as always, Staci! I’ve done this for years now and trying to explain it in writing or verbally is near impossible. It really does take seeing it in action.

[@fernshinbaum]

I hope I never need it but I am SO glad that you showed me what to do if I ever drop one!

[@kjones95472]

My hero! I have a bit of a tremor so this happens to me fairly regularly. The first row is always a pain anyway so this saves me so much. Thank you.

[@mariaelliott7001]

Thanks Stacy. It’s always good to know how to get the stitch back on the needle in the right direction without twisting the unworked stitch. Thanks.

[@andrearib6935]

Thank you so much for this tip. I have always just ripped it out and started over.

[@vivianpowell1732]

Staci, your Slo-Mo tutorials are very helpful. I'd love one on the Icelandic bind-off. That bind-off is great for garter stitch pieces, and I knit a lot of garter stitch shawls. I checked your Slo-Mo playlist and didn't see one for that, so I hope I haven't overlooked it. Thanks so much.

[@knitgirl.7676]

You are a knitting wizard! Thanks for this!

[@jonellesandel1066]

How have I not known how to do this? A million thank you’s!!!!

[@SandPell123]

Normally I would have started over completely, but this looks easy enough to do. Thanks Stacy

[@collettecaya9507]

I needed this video last month when I dropped a cast on stitch and ripped out 128 stitch.

[@fryede]

Thank you for this! My standard CO is the German-twisted. Could you one day go over what one would do differently for that?

[@margueritefoley1262]

A million thanks! It won’t be such a horrible moment anymore when that happens.

[@SewRunKnit]

As usual, you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for your great video tutorial

[@sallyburley8672]

Brilliant! I'd love to know how to fix a dropped cable cast-on stitch, as that is my more usual cast- on. Over to you, Stacy! 😁

[@nikiTricoteuse]

This has happened to me so many times, the last time about 4 stitches before the end of 300+ stitches only about 2 weeks ago. As soon as you turned it round l realised exactly what to do. Don't know whether to laugh or cry as l can't believe it's never occurred to me before. Thank you for this though cos, l was obviously not going to get there on my own. 😁

[@mnapier1142]

This has never happened to me but nice to have the instruction when it does someday!!! Love your slow motions!!!

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

Wow! I had no idea this was easily fixable! Thank you!

[@lindac7146]

So, that's the magic! Thank you. I've never figured that out on my own. Now, I can do something other than FROG it.

[@karenwright6286]

Ty Ty for this in slow motion!!! I was having such a hard time and you made it easy . Ty again

[@eileenwhite2875]

Thank you! I always suspected there was a fix for this.

[@ellengardocki8332]

Thank you so much. Your videos teach in such an easy way--I feel pretty confident applying them. Could you do a video on a dropped k2tog? Thanks again, Staci

[@peaceandjoy559]

This is exactly what I do. A great idea to share with others.

[@MYROCKOROCKO]

I needed this video! Thank you so much beautiful lady! Great teacher 🎶☀️😉

[@staceytannehill320]

Thanks for this lesson. This has happened to me before and I ripped out and restarted.

[@nydiahaberlie8865]

Thank you so much! Happens to me all the time. So happy not to have to rip the hole thing out in the future!

[@lachellefarmer8265]

I learned how to do this the other day and wow thanks for sharing just the same

[@sandimichaels2324]

Thank you very nuch. Very informative.

[@julielandy9162]

Now that is time saver!!! Thank you

[@caro1591]

Really helpful. Thank you. Any tips for German twisted cast on?

[@verypinkknits]

I will need to reverse-engineer that one first, but it is a good idea for a video!

[@caro1591]

@@verypinkknits That would be brilliant. Thank you.

[@tianadhamniwala]

Thanks a lot something that I learned easily from you

[@motzoh]

Oh nice! After casting on 200 something st with st markers in place, I'd be willing to struggle through this with fingering yarn rather than starting over!

[@jillhall9402]

😊 thank you for this tutorial!

[@stareis]

Random question… but for a left handed knitter, would you need to twist the dropped stitch the opposite way?

[@jennifertaylor7021]

Excellent! Thank you

[@heathertucker7056]

Genius! Thank you!

[@serenityinstitches8236]

What a great tip, thank you!

[@donnamiller7227]

Thank you for sharing

[@christinecarr1679]

Thank you for this.

[@amyzweber1406]

Wow! Thanks!

[@heatherbertrand5165]

Is this method for any cast on?

[@verypinkknits]

No, it's specifically for the long-tail cast-on, a pretty normal CO for most projects.

[@wandamercer2483]

Thank you!

[@donnatemby3310]

Thank you,

[@1AngelEyes912]

Thank you so very much🙏🌹

[@annathy]

BRILLIANT!

[@theastewart6721]

I’m assuming this channel is on vacation. As the comments are turned off on the newest short giveaway videos I hope I’m right.

[@verypinkknits]

No, I'm not on vacation! There are no current giveaways, but more coming soon! And the comments are only turned off on giveaway videos, but you can comment on my website for current giveaways.

[@theastewart6721]

Oh ok. I thought maybe you were because you haven’t posted your Wednesday tutorials for a while. I’m not concerned about giveaways. I enter them because it’s fun but I watch your tutorials regularly. Good to know about commenting on your website. Thanks for the response.

[@DianeRogerssydanddianes]

Thank you!!

[@roseneal9130]

Excellent. Thank you.
