No wonder my picked up stitches don't look right--I've only picked up the bottom of the loop!!! Thank you for solving this puzzlement for me!

[@chtitmog]

Same! Suzanne is a fantastic teacher _ we are so lucky to have her sharing her knowledge here on YT!

[@lynnewhaley2397]

Suzanne, your videos are the best thing since sliced bread. I've had so many "Oh, so that's how to do that" moments since discovering your wonderful sites!

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome!

[@alisonk5081]

This video is literally a GOD SEND

[@Katey_B]

I've been knitting for years and never had to fix the edge. I was really over complicating it. Thank you for giving an excellent visual!

[@lennypearl]

Thank you, Suzanne! The anatomy of an edge stitch is so much different from a regular stitch, and so glad you explained how to fix any issues with them!

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome!

[@KM-zq8wj]

You just saved me hours of frogging!! I should have known to come to your channel because you always have the solution to my problem! Thank you.

[@Ursaminor31]

Omg. A skill I actually did not know. Thank you for this.

[@SuzanneBryan]

[@a.gumbellina]

Thank you! This is the only video among 10 others that made sense to me and restored my very first project to normal! :)

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great to hear, Heinanana, I am very happy to help! 😊

[@sstephh]

Thank you, you’ve saved my project once again! I dropped a stitch in the middle of my row, and I was still able to fix it following your video!

[@SuzanneBryan]

That's awesome, Steph, I'm so happy to hear this! You are so welcome! ❤️

[@cjcoonfield]

You've just saved me so much time - no more tinking the project to get back to the edge mistake!!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great!

[@momgrandma5496]

Have never seen this done, appreciate the video Suzanne.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are welcome.

[@lauraxuereb680]

You always know how to fix the things that I can’t quite figure out! Thank you!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Happy to help, Laura! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@lindav1403]

Very helpful video, and very clear. Thank you! I love that there isn't a lot of excess chatter.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful, Linda! I feel it's important to get to the point without excess chatter and other distractions. My videos are meant to be viewed again as needed, and nobody wants to wade through fluff. 😊

[@marchair]

Well now! I’ve been knitting for almost 50 years , and this is a revelation! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful! Happy Holidays.

[@loriscrochetcreations8566]

I knew that I had to pick up two stitches, but never figured out how to do it. Wow! that was an eyeopener. Thank you

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome!

[@marilynrotman450]

Thank you! This is a skill that has always eluded me, but you made it look easy.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You can do it!

[@glassfusemuse]

You've saved me again - thank you love your videos!

[@judybostick3934]

Thanks for the great video! I never understood how to pick up the side stitches and you explained it so clearly.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You’re welcome 😊

[@jand7782]

Excellent information! I always, always learn something new. Thank you, thank you.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@athertonca]

Thank you so much for this video. For some reason, a dropped edge stitch gets me all flummoxed, even though I am an experienced knitter.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annetremolieres3928]

Perfectly clear, as usual. This is a so helpful video !

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jchestand4122]

You are WONDERFUL! I needed to repair a mistake in a couple of rows on the end of garter stitches. That twist bit may take me a few tries, but many thanks for posting this ❤

[@stock_orchid]

Wow. My needles would drop and my end stitches were so large. Now I know why. Thank you for the informative video.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are very welcome, Melinda! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@sallyyanita8269]

Omg.. thank you so much for this tutorial. I always dreading if the edge stitch dropped. Couldn’t get those fixed correctly.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad I could help!

[@wilsonstreet616]

I am so glad you made this video. Now, in the future when I need it (and I WILL) I won't have to get frustrated and start over. I can just make this simple fix and continue on my knitting way. :)

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sage0925]

Thanks very much! No way I'd have figured that out on my own. I know how to do that in the center of my work, but not on the edge. Much appreciate you sharing.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Excellent! Happy holidays.

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

Love your tutorials! I am looking for how to correct a I cord mistake on edge? Thanks for all your knitting wisdom

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great suggestion!

[@BoBo-ti6jh]

This is great information. I had this problem a few months ago and did not know what to do. I had to undo 3 inches of my knitting. Thanks so much!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mjbcoffee16]

That was a WOW moment for me! Thank you!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great!

[@chavak3497]

This is wonderful! Just joined your FB page too... so thankful to find you!

[@laurajvm]

I have always dreaded finding a mistake on an edge stitch! I’ve never fixed one successfully. Thank you for the great video and explanation. Now, I know I should be able to figure out how to deal with an edge stitch mistake when I’ve slipped the first stitch, using the explanation you just gave, BUT if you wanted to do a video on that, it would save me from having to think too hard :-)

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful! I am adding the dropped slipped edge stitch problem to my video todo list. Thank you.

[@rachelbritt1163]

This is wonderful! I asked several people how to fix edge stitches in the past, but this is definitely the clearest explanation. Thanks, Suzanne!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@libbyhoenstine7504]

Love being your student!

[@katibere1966]

WOW 🤩...you make it seem so easy!! I will definitely save this tutorial! Thanks 😊

[@SuzanneBryan]

You’re welcome 😊

[@lingpang7209]

Thanks!! Dropping a stitch on the edge always throws me off.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad to help!

[@reneej6579]

Thanks so much, Suzanne! This video was incredibly helpful and educational for me. I’ve picked up knitting after a few decades of not having the time. I can’t tell you how many times recently, that I’ve had to unpick several rows to correct this error. I am so grateful for your kind generosity in teaching us all. Greetings from Australia!

[@joanie9258]

Perfect timing! How did you know I just had this exact issue this week! I didn’t realize end stitches were different . Now it makes sense! Thanks 🙏

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome!

[@NerdyKnitting]

Such a helpful video! It's important to remember picking up edge stitches isn't the same aa dropped stitches in the middle of a row.

[@SuzanneBryan]

So true!

[@annejetta]

You are a magician! I don’t know if did it entirely the right way but thanks so much for showing these different options

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are very kind, Anne-Jet, thank you!

[@pattichambers7100]

Wow! I never knew how to fix this after 30 yrs of knitting. Thank you!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Happy to help!

[@olgaalvarez8534]

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thanks for watching!

[@Bonnie7455]

Knitting with Suzanne Bryan, just thought you would like to know, that I shared your video with another lady that dropped a stitch and she watched your video & loved it, and tonight she will fix her dropped stitch. Thanks again for such lovely video 💐

[@weilengloo3766]

[@bonniewerner4121]

Extremely helpful! I have watched most of your great tutorials and have been a complete student of yours, learning so much over the last. 3 years. But this ranks up there w one of your most helpful videos. I did not get that each loop was two stitches!! Thank you.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Great to hear!🧶

[@isawa6649]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had no idea how much I needed that tutorial until I looked at it. Thank you

Excellent demonstration! Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You're very welcome!

[@KittenBowl1]

This was so helpful and clear! I thought I had to toss the project away and start over but I was able to follow your tutorial and picked up stitches 10 rows below. 😅 Haha. Thanks so much! 💚

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi! It has been a while since I popped in over here. Although I don’t do needle knitting, I was mesmerized by this video. Great info and demonstration. All the best to you!🌻

You can do it!

[@vivienneclarke2421]

[@jolines4081]

When I’m undoing stitches, I have trouble undoing an edge stitch that was a purl st with one leg and a knit st with the other. It always ends up a huge loop. I’m not sure I’ve fixed this correctly, but it looks like the other edge stitches and all the slack is gone. I think I will go with it. Many thanks!!

My savior!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad to help.

[@neenee56]

Thank you so much. I, too, was only picking up one leg of the stitch, not both. You cleared that up for me. I'm still having a bit of trouble. My pattern for now is 2 x 2 ribbing. It so happens that the end stitch I dropped was a Purl stitch. If I turn the work around, to be working from the knit side, the loops pull out to the left. Is this done differently if your end stitches are purls? Thanks. :)

[@SuzanneBryan]

If the purl side is facing you, then pick them up purl-wise, and the opposite for the knits. Good luck, Neenee! 😊

[@rochellelefever723]

Is there any way that I can attach a pic of my mistake? I am doing a seed stitch border where the first stitch is slipped. Suzanne, I LOVE your videos!

[@elainebos]

How would you do it if you were doing a slipped stitch selvedge edge?

[@SuzanneBryan]

I have just added that problem to my video todo list. Thank you.

[@Norfolk250]

I have never ever Ever never no time ev-ver ..... before, considered the fact that there were two stitches at the end. I’ve always treated them as singles. It is 2:27 AM for me, and so it’s WAY-TOO-EARLY for me to quite ‘learn som’n different every day!’, so, I won’t. Hmph!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad to be of help, even in the middle of the night.

Thanks so much for this. I’m a fairly good knitter but this problem I could never work out. Great video and solution!

[@CharlotteWest1]

Bless you!! I've undone stitches so many times in the middle section of whatever I'm knitting, but I just tried doing it on the edge for the first time ever (apparently) and had a slight panic moment when I wasn't sure how to retrace it all back up, haha. Thank you for saving me!
