Thank you for the perfectly clear explanation. I fixed my dropped garter stitches while I was watching the video. You saved me a lot of time unknitting and reknitting!

[@olgahmrl]

I like how to every question I type on youtube search, a video-answer of yours gets recommended - and it's always perfectly explained! Thanks!!

[@pajolify]

What a legend. I’ve always backed my way out of the problem in the past, but I’m working on a blanket and just dropped a stitch down a few rows and the idea of working my way back was daunting. This worked like a charm and I’m glad to know how to do this now.

[@allinsonsherratt418]

Faffed around for over an hour before referring to this video. 2 problem stitches in 366! Resolved in 3 minutes. Thank you ❤❤❤ Your calming voice & explanation made it work for me. It's so frustrating when you know what to do but can't 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wish I had seen this tutorial before attempting the half-and-half, triangular wrap. I frogged that thing three times. Once again, Norman, you are the best. Love from a grateful Patron.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

happy to be there for you. And remember, you can always request a tutorial on patreon if you are stuck! :)

[@tanmarher]

Thank you Norman You're a great teacher who has restored my faith in knitting

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

[@elizabethtrimble6853]

That was SO helpful, Norman! I had not one, but two dropped stitches side-by-side, four rows down, and this video helped me a ton!

[@pennybock]

Absolutely brilliant demonstration. Saved me re-kintting 8 rows. Thank you.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

awesome! I do have to admit it's a little bit more complicated but glad I was able to make things click for you, finally!

[@susanmcbride587]

Perfect explanation. My problem is a garter stitch border. Absent-mindedly purling when I see the bump that should be knitted. Then not noticing for 4 rows.Thank you

[@veniestagourdine3881]

Thank you Norman I can always count on you .

[@SS-xf9ct]

I love how simply you demonstrated this. Thank you so much! ♥️

[@suecopas3961]

thank you so very much Norman - clear and consice - a total life-saver, much appreciated

[@nha-dantran7594]

You’re always there to save my projects. I really can’t tell you how much your channel helped me to improve my results! I’d really like to see an video in the future on how to fix a dropped stitch in brioche or fisherman’s rib. I really couldn’t find any satisfying content on those stitches. Thank you for your content, your channel is always by my side!

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

if you head over to my main channel, you will find a fisherman's rib tutorial where I show you exactly that kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4OwmWupotlssKc (use the timestamps to navigate)

[@shelleychastagner69]

Thank you so much! Your directions and video were so clear I was able to follow along easily.

[@juliewheeler794]

I finally understand after this thorough explanation. Thank you!

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

You're very welcome!

[@KnitTech-f1n]

Once again Norman saves me from full panic mode. 🙂 Perhaps you can do a video on using a stitch fix tool for those of us prone to dropping the loop switching between knits and purls for garter stitch dropped stitches.

[@anushkapokhriyal736]

Really very useful😊

[@nattkhan]

Thank you so much! I learned how to knit (only the garter stitch) in school when I was very little but I forgot how to pick up a dropped stitch and this was very informative and easy to follow. Liked and subscribed :)

[@risapulver]

Thank you!!!!! Great explanation!!!! Much appreciated.

[@bsfb3ar]

Hi Norman what if a to down compound Ragland Cardigan means? I’ve never heard of it. I think you are the best teacher on line. Thanks

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

i am not sure I understand your question. There seems to be some sort of typo there.

[@patrickk939]

You’re always a lifesaver!!

[@Prisoner_jeff]

Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver.

[@tsnevtbl]

Hello Norman! I couldn't find it so I will ask here, do you have a video on reparining holes in older finished projects? If not, it would be great to learn from you how to do it, it you know! Thank you kindly, and great content!!!

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

I do not have that yet. But indeed, I will put darning on my list :)

[@CHill-mn8hr]

Thank you for this!

[@likhang_nedwards]

I am saving this video. I have just gotten drop stitch that I did not notice and created a hole. And I repeated my work twice.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

oh noe...hope you can rescue things in the future!

[@likhang_nedwards]

@@nimbleneedlestwo i have!! This is so helpful! This helped me understand the stitches too!

[@rentondelarge]

You save my work. Thank you so much!

[@faridakamran915]

That's explained so well 👌

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

thank you for your stellar feedback Farida!

[@fryxguy]

Thank you!!! I've been knitting for years, but I could never pick up a garter stitch!

[@joannarutter]

Thank you

[@mathswithmrzuber1259]

Life saver! Thank you.

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

Glad it helped!

[@mkaypandas]

How can I secure the stitch if it far too late to add back to my needle? Please help

[@nyx-v5w]

Hi Norman, I am pretty sure I just dropped a stitch, but I can't tell. I don't think it really looks like any of the videos on dropped stitches, and yet I can see the spot where there is clearly a mistake, and I clearly have one stitch less on my needles than I started with. Do you have any suggestions for an absolute beginner to help identify mistakes?

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

well, if you dropped a stitch you should have one less stitch on your needles than you cast-on

[@timeamohacsi825]

Nagyon köszönöm!!!!

[@kazubernstein6047]

How do I know which size needles to use with a non labeled yarn. I don’t see or hear teachers mention the type of yarn and size of needles used while demonstrating. I have ADHD and know type of yarn for kitchen scrubbers, thick knitting scarves and baby blankets it would help if y’all mentioned those 2 things for us. Thank you

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

maybe this will help you: nimble-needles.com/wool-and-tools/knitting-needle-sizes/

[@lindas5964]

I did this on my fingering weight socks, tiny yarn and tight tension. 😩

[@littleflamingos7884]

What if there is no stitch

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

not sure I understand you? this video is about dropped stitches... that always implies a stitch. so you mean rather just a loose loop or so?

[@maxokri]

OMG all of the videos are so bad. Firstly, hush and get to the point. Secondly, show the action close up, slower and repeat it for us beginners… SLOWER

[@nimbleneedlestwo]

Firstly, if, for whatever reason, you need it slower yet, click on the settings button and play it at 0.25% of the speed. Secondly, this video has currently 98,8% upvotes with 1909 likes. It does sound like it caters to the needs of most people watching it. And that includes the very short intro of ~30secs. That length was choosen specifically because most learners need a short amount of time to get used to the voice and visiuals of a stranger. Same like you typically fail to understand the first second of someone answering the phone if you've never talked with them before. I am unsure what you expect to gain by insulting me and the quality of my videos. Next time, do consider to be kind to your teachers and fellow humans. I have a hunch that this will increase the chance that they are willing to help you with your specific problem.
