Fixing Holes and Dropped Stitches // Technique Tuesday

[@carlcampbell6827]

Thanks a million Roxanne. I have been forced to help my wife with her knitting for the past year. She has dementia and has really been loosing her skills that she has had down pat for many years. You know how very important it is for people to keep their hobby alive, even though they are having a difficult time of it.

[@RoxanneRichardson]

I'm so happy to hear that my video was helpful to you. My mother has dementia, so I do know. Good luck to you and your wife in your (now joint) knitting efforts. :-)

[@kaberle7]

FINALLY someone who shows you how to fix a hole with no live loop to grab!! Thank you Roxanne!! You just made me a much better knitter!!

[@lenorelegnetti4241]

Thanks so much. Oftentimes I find those holes in my project and never know why they’re there. Now I know how to fix them!

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Yay! :-)

[@lezlezzin]

Oh my gosh you’re a LIVE. SAVER. I just began teaching myself to knit and I did not want to rip apart my entire scarf to fix one live stitch. Thank you!!

[@BritClips]

I'm not new to knitting but I am new to sock knitting!! This has saved me so much hassle!!

[@SynfullyWkd67]

Thank you SO MUCH! I have almost completed my project, and noticed I had a live stich 12 rows back that had laddered, and I almost frogged the whole thing ( only 8 rows to go) then I saw your video and you saved my project! Thanks again, God bless!

[@MonsieurLuon]

This has saved me so much stress, just learning to knit and the beginning of my shawl had so many holes and dropped stitches but the end I finally got the hang of it and was really neat and nice haha.

[@jennahowe7487]

Thank you SO MUCH for explaining how to fix a dropped stitch without undoing a column of stitches down to the dropped one and then knitting back up. I'm doing a really complicated lace project and didn't spot the dropped stitch until it was way way way too late for that Lifesaver!

[@4zengrl]

Thank you!! Thank you! My piece isn’t finished, but I also didn’t want to rip out 20 rows for a hole (your #3)! I’m sure this video has saved many hours of reworking! You just got yourself a new subscriber!

[@brendakoenig2496]

Yours was the only video i saw that shows my problem….no live loop. Worked like a charm! I had worked 11 rows before i saw the error AND had worked Lace rows. Thank you so much!

[@rebeccadavid8730]

Thank you. I couldn’t determine how a hole appeared 10 rows down. You solved the mystery and provided a great fix!

[@aliceroberts9697]

Thank you so much! I have a grandmother who is mostly blind but loves making knitted gifts for us, and now I can make sure those gifts last.

[@annetteharris7186]

Roxanne, thank you so much for showing us how to repair without having to pull the stiches back to the actual mistake, which usually make things worst. I will always be grateful for your help.

[@yeetabix8012]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M A BEGINNER MAKING MY FIRST SCARF AND I GOT A HOLE WITH NO LIVE STITCH I WAS PANICKINH UNTIL I SAW THIS VID TYSM I APPRECIATE IT A LOT

[@thebutchersbill1]

Arg, just finished a sock and found a dropped stitched when I pulled out the last life line. Forever a novice, I guess. Anyway, much cursing and gnashing of teeth avoided with this video, so thanks again for posting-just what I needed!

[@Bethabara9]

Just finished a cardigan , wore it and found a runner! Didn't panic....came to your channel and boom! Fixed it! Thankyou so much!

[@categ50]

I started knitting again about 2 years ago. Many mistakes, dropped stitches and holes! I have been weaving them in, but your techniques are MUCH better. Thank you!

[@anamchara2024]

Thank you, thank you! I'm new to knitting and have been making a hat for my mom. I accidentally yarned over a few times and didn't want to have to undo the whole project. Such a huge help!

[@annettebartels2061]

Absolutely a game changer!! It’s truly about understanding how the stitch is woven. Thanks so much

[@maried3717]

This is going to save me a lot of ripping back to mistakes. Thank you!

[@LilianaMaxim]

This video really saves me. Knitted vertical neck band for the first time, and got some holes in between body and neck band as results. Thank you so much for your wonderful video. :D

[@willbaren]

This is like magic. Thank you so much for all the effort you go to to help those of us starting out.

[@avaa2314]

OMG so beautiful and thorough ❤️ I never had a mother teach me anything and learned everything through lesson or with mentors. I am hoping my children and grandchildren will be curious so I can teach them. Thank you❤️

[@RoxanneRichardson]

You are so welcome

[@annetteharris7186]

Roxanne, this has been so very helpful. I don't have to try and bring the dropped stitch up. You have shown us how to repair in a very simple way. I will always be grateful GOD has shown you how to help us.

[@kaymack5304]

That was such a good video! For those of us who don’t have experienced knitters around this information is invaluable. Thank you!

[@jacquelinesalem2776]

GREAT! Thanks so much! Problem solved in a professional way. This was a very valuable tutorial.

[@SSaffel]

You are a lifesaver! This technique just saved me hours of ripping back and reknitting. Thank you.

[@lourdestolentino428]

Your demonstration helps me a lot as beginner in knitting. Thank You. I got ideas on how to rescue my mistakes. Thank You.

[@jenniferannfox2316]

this was soooooo helpful! I looked down in my stockinette today and 10 rows down I see a hole like number 1. Now I will replay until I fix it right. Thank you so much!

[@IngerJDenny]

Thank you so much!! I was wearing today my first knit top that I made recently. Then while at work, I noticed a drop stitch (scenario 2). Luckily I had my knitting bag, which included a locking stitch marker and was able to secure it until I got home. This video is a God send!!

[@carolr4871]

Every time I think I already know enough about the subject of your video, I watch it anyway. And I almost always learn something new! I've been knitting for over 30 years, so how did I not know these things before?! Thank you for your devotion to the craft and for sharing with us. Keep 'em coming!

[@louisacameron1454]

Many, many thanks! I am giving our artistic 7 1/2 year old granddaughter a learn-to-knit kit and am working on how to help her through the process. This video is invaluable.

[@mira.belle.]

Thank you for this tutorial. Easy to follow and straight to the point! keep up the good work 👍

[@carljk47]

thank you so so much. New knitter who appreciates easy to follow fixes!!!

[@RoxanneRichardson]

You are so welcome!

[@jenellpadilla1799]

I have watched this video so many times and it has saved several projects. For some reason I have a knack for dropping stitches and Roxanne saves the day every time. Thank you Roxanne!!

[@poornis7025]

Thank you Roxanne!! I thought I can not fix this. Your video was very easy to understand. I am so proud of myself today after fixing the hole. Now my hat will look good with no holes in it. You made my day!

[@claraphiri4180]

Ahhh, thank you! That last one saved my sweater😊

[@cwolfpack3]

I just totally saved this sock I was making using your instructions ... thank YOU Roxanne. You are a treasure in the knitting community!

[@lindac7146]

So glad to learn these techniques. Thank you.

[@virginiabrooks3861]

Roxanne, you are a life saver! I almost finished a beautiful baby blanket only to find I had one stitch unknitted. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your skills. ❤

[@tamarawright4268]

Thanks! You make learning so understandable. I really appreciate and value your channel

[@florencecathcart9588]

Wish I had seen this video days ago. Knitting for the first time and ripped, ripped, ripped because I didn't know how to fix the mistake. Now I do! Thanks a million!

[@cassandrahceaser6392]

I just finished a sweater and dropped 5 stitches I wasn't aware of BUT your techniques really saved me from frigging. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@suebean3873]

Thank you Roxanne. You’re a God send.

[@fawnjenkins7266]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just found a dropped garter stitch a couple rows down. Between you and Very Pink Knits I got it figured out! Thank you!!!

[@tgd3394]

Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation for different knitting repairs!

[@glorialloyd2774]

Thank you. I was just about to try and fix the two holes in my shawl without making a swatch to practice. And then you instructed us viewers to make a swatch before attempting to fix the hole. Phew! You saved the day. Thank you so very much.

[@退而不休更精采]

Oh, you really saved my life! When I discovered a live stitch, I was thinking of how to rip off so many rounds without making anymore live stitches! Thank you so much 😊 🙏

[@afterlate8866]

AMAZING! Thank you so much! This is so clear and very useful and deals with different types of hole. I never realised how knitting can be stressful and sweat-inducing in our attempts to get things right so that the finished product looks really good and professional. I no longer fear making a hole as much as I used to, even though it still needs attention, practice and calm when fixing problems..

[@rivoruss]

Thank you so much! I’m a beginner knitter so I made a few yarn over holes in my blanket. I was able to fix my mistakes thanks to your video!

[@vholland6785]

You're videos are the best at showing techniques in a clear manner. This will save my current wip, thanks!

[@lindaquinn6987]

OBOY!! Just what I needed. Thanks so much, Roxanne, for another of your terrific, crystal clear videos.

[@DebThompson06]

Thank you so much! I am still learning, and obviously did something wrong with my m1r so that it left a visible hole in the fabric, exactly like the third example you show in your video. I didn’t realize it until I was about 6 rows away, so thank you for showing me how to close up that gap!

[@cw8011]

As always, a wonderful Technique Tuesday. You show problem-solving techniques that help knitters of all levels of experience. Thanks for the clear instructions and truly useful information!

[@shanalynprudoehl5450]

Thank you so much for this video! You saved me from giving my mom a blanket with a super noticeable hole in it 😅. Happy holidays!

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Thank you! You too!

[@anonfornow359]

You really helped me. Thank you. I finished a my first hat and realized I had created yarn overs when I did increases. Your techinque worked great to close up the hole AND helped me fix my mitten tumbs. 💖👍

[@trixiewillful]

This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!! Just saved me a ton of worry and the horrible thought of frogging my blanket!!!

[@milkglassfairy7641]

Thank you SO much! I’m knitting my first proper project - a baby blanket. It’s looking cute but I made a mistake early on and it was annoying me so much. Now I can fix it and learning how to identify the cause of my mistake was so helpful too. Thank you!

[@3alenitas3]

Finally the video that explain these problema clearly and in various possibilities!!!

[@screwdriver6176]

Thank you so much Roxanne!! I'm 19 and making a baby blanket and I messed up a few times. Thank you!!!

[@jennistevenson796]

Always such a big help so clearly explained. Thankyou x

[@mininatalie]

Thank you so much, you saved my life and a dress! ❤ Greetings from Italy. Natalia

[@ekn8928]

thank you this is most helpful. I would have also liked to have seen how you might weave in the ends following the patterns on the wrong side, as you suggest, on either side of the repaired stitch in example 1. It appears that there are holes in the fabric still on either side of the sewn-in green stitch and a few wayward yellow threads on the wrong side. how can one correct those loose yellow threads?

[@Waffles-78]

Thank you! This is sooo helpful. Relatively new knitter and I have these fixes to do in my scarf. Always learning.

[@judylee3589]

I'm new at knitting and I found several holes in my scaft. This has helped me so much, thank you!!!

[@daphnenugent1615]

Thank you so much, Roxanne. This video has saved my life!

[@diananielsen9073]

That was one of the best knitting tutorials I have seen!

[@cecilelemoine7827]

Thanks! I appreciate your tips … they have helped ne so much.

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Glad to hear it!

[@danl1451]

I really like your technical explanations. I tried knitting recently but a bunch of stitches fell off at once and I couldn't get them all back on evenly so I gave up and went back to crochet. Recovering from a mistake in crochet is 100000 easier than knitting, especially since knitting mistakes don't seem obvious to me until a couple of rows down.

[@RoxanneRichardson]

There's a great trick for correcting knitting mistakes from previous rows: you can ladder down a span of sts, so that you don't have to rip back any of the sts that were knit correctly, only the ones that were a mistake. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4PQlquof7d8etE

[@gracefernandez1955]

Amazing video, thank you so much. I fixed my hole from an extra yarn over in less than a minute. Equally important, I understand now how I made the error.

[@tamaragrottker7677]

Thank you this really helped me a lot! I finished a sweater and only after wearing it once did I discover the dropped stitch (situation #2). Thank you!

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Glad it helped!

[@asafirth4987]

Wow! You’re just the best. I’m learning so much from your videos.

[@tinn3645]

Amazing! An easy to follow tutorial that is straight to the point. Love it!

[@diycraftsnhacks]

Thanks for the techinque videos! Subscribed

[@motionless_horizon]

Thank you!! I’m knitting my first sweater and ended up with a few holes with no live stitch, and couldn’t find any tutorial to fix it. I was feeling very discouraged and like I would have to completely restart, but now I know I can fix it!

[@robertgavin980]

Amazing , you're knowledge of Knitting is Incredible, thank you .🙂

[@flyingcloud9253]

Thank you soooooo much! This was by far the best demonstration for resolving holes after knitting I have seen....I am learning to knit and I am often making mistakes and it is so important to know how to resolve knitting mistakes....Much thanks again for a great video!

[@nikkijohnson2832]

Excellent instructions. I've bookmarked this one!

[@catherinescott7620]

Super clear and easy to understand! Thank you ❤️

[@RoxanneRichardson]

You're so welcome!

[@c.h.9566]

Rox, you are the best part of KZbin for me :)

[@vadec5909]

Thank you so much for your videos on fixing errors This is excellent, your should make a book all on errors every kind you can think of I would buy it for sure

[@cynthiabechtel61]

Hi Roxanne, this is a great video because I struggle with holes in my socks when I turn the heel, and then have to pick up the stitches from the front needle. It makes a hole at the top of the join, where I start decreasing the join. So frustrating! Now I know how to fix it. I wish I understood knitting enough to avoid the holes. Thank you for teaching this! Cynthia

[@RoxanneRichardson]

I have lots of sock videos, including one on how to pick up sts for the heel flap so that you avoid the hole: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIbbmZKtmtqYZtk

[@kellychesley3011]

Great help! You explain we’ll- thank you!

[@silence4531]

I don’t suppose there is a similar video for what to do in a situation where one is knitting in garter? I know you say at end that it works for other stitches, but alas am a bit of a beginner and seeing is easier. Maybe I’ll just get my courage up and go for it. Thanks for this. Important technique!

[@christinelowe8901]
