This helped me sooo much because I had previously always just taken all my work apart even if I was almost finished every time I dropped a stitch.

you made this so simple where most can't show that. Great teacher

Loved watching Timmy climb up the ladder. What a clear explanation. And I tried it, just as you showed, and my little Timmy made it back to the needle. Thanks for your great tutorials teaching us basic beginners how to knit.

WOO-HOO! "Timmy" has been saved from certain death twice within a period of 5 minutes! That's something to "Woo-Hoo" about. Seriously though, thanks for this video. Somehow it doesn't seem quite as scary to make a mistake now, all within a period of less than 10 minutes. Love your teaching style.😁

You are too hilarious! I love it! I've been deathly afraid of dropping stitches and it has caused me to abandon projects sooooo many times! You make it seem like it's so easy to fix! I love your videos, thank you so much!

You’re amazing. I’ve struggled with this for years. I always had to take them to another knitter because my brain just couldn’t understand how the ladders became stitches. I found my way here today because I had something strange happen with fuzzy yarn after a sskpsso round and when I went to tink back, all hell broke loose. I sat dejected for a while, watched a lot of well made and well intentioned but unhelpful videos. Then I found this video. In eight minutes, you changed everything. It was a lot less scary to just let the weird decrease mess break free once I understood how to fix dropped stitches. It’s fixed. And I am so excited. Thank you!

*The time when you see you dropped a stitch* Me before: 😠 Me now: 😀

Timmy would be proud of your rescue mission!! Great tut and a MUST bookmark!!

Yeah!! I've tried to do this with a crochet hook, your method works much better. Thankfully a snow day here because I'm not getting anything done because I'm obsessed with your lessons, wish I discovered you years ago. Expecting my first grandson in June and really want to knit him some clothes and a blanket. Have been crocheting since childhood but I love the look of knit for clothing.. after finding YOU I'm feeling much more positive that I can do it.. still struggling with reading patterns. Working on my FIRST GAUGE at the moment thanks to you...your AWESOME!!!! HUGS

Hilarious! Love it! I did get confused because I thought garter was all knit and stockinette was knit & purl. Either way, love it!

You are such a wonderful teacher! Thank you for helping so many, many of us!!

Thank you for the clear instructions! I used a crochet hook as I dont have another needle and a stitch protector on one end to protect my live stitches. Took less than a minute. Thank you!!!!

THANK YOU!!!! you just saved me tinking 423 stitches! After watching this, I was able to drop 4 rows for just the 12 stitches where I made a mistake. Timmy is safe thanks to you!

I have referenced this video multiple times to pick up dropped stitched. Thank you so much for the very clear instructions!

Hi! Was just working on my first sweater for myself and found I'd dropped a few stitches in a row. But I saved all the Timmys! Thank you so much for this tutorial. You saved my sweater!

Your video saved me bunches of time with my Timmy dropped stitch! And I love your sense of humor and Lassie reference. Thanks for teaching us.

I literally was knitting when I realized I had dropped a stitch! Luckily, I remembered this video. Thank you so much, and if it weren't for you, i probably wouldn't be knitting to this day! ❤❤❤❤

thank you for doing the Garter stitch that is just what I needed! You rock!

You are a born teacher. Teach little Timmy! 😊

You are wonderful. You do make it so much easier to understand than others! Thank you!

Thank you! I just started knitting and your channel has taught me so much. I'm making my first large project (blanket) and noticed I had dropped a stitch and thought I was going to have to start over. This was such a time saver. Love your channel!

Great job explaining how to fix the dropped stitch and making it humorous as well.

Wow, if I had not been able to recognize a knit from a purl, I would not have been able to understand what I was seeing. Thankfully I was right there with you and I can do it. You demystified getting the dropped garter stitch back onto the needle. Before this I had done my best to try to imitate what should have taken pace, now I know that should take place. Thank you for patiently showing us how to get the proper results.💖💖💖💖💖

You are the best! So glad I found your site!!

I used a crochet hook. So easy that way.

I use this video a little too often but am so grateful for your instruction. You have saved many of my projects! Thank you!

you are awesome! Thanks for a simplified version of picking up dropped stitches!!

Added to my knitting playlist. Thank you!

Love how you teach. You’re so sweet 😊

Why did this make me laugh so hard ? Poor Timmy! hahaha Thanks for ALL your videos, these have been so helpful and you have made me a knitting addict :)

That's awesome. But we need a video on how to fix the dropped stitch that is the last (edge) stitch too!

Thank you so much! I was so afraid I'd have to rip back all those rows to save Timmy, but no! You are AMAZING!

This was the best explanation ever!! So glad we (Lassie) saved Timmy

All my dropped stitches from henceforth will be called Timmy. Just popped on as a refresher since this happened to me near the end of my project and I foolishly didn’t have any lifelines knitted in so I have to rip back my whole night’s work tomorrow. 😭 Thanks for reassuring me again that it can be fixed!

You makes it so simple , thanks for your help ❤️❤️👍

Your videos are excellent!! Thank you!!

Great seeing you pick up the dropped stitch

Amazing tutorial. Great!y appreciate it. I'm always looking g up "stitch anatomy" so I can better figure out how go fix mistakes. This video helped. Thanks teacher👍

Really helpful to me. Thank you so much!

thank you SO MUCH. You just saved my life right now right on this very moment

You saved my blanket from looking horrible I love u

Thank you, this was very helpful!

Thanks to this video I just rescued my first dropped stitch with pulling out any stitches!

Love this video!!!

Thank youuuu Thank youuuu Thank You 🙏 you rescued my jumper which I have spent hours and hours on. Your ace 👍👍👍👍

I sure wished I saw your video yesterday!

So helpful!! Thank you.

You’re a miracle worker-thank you for making this make sense

Let's help Timmy. By IMPALING him 🤣 Only seen this done with a crochet hook before. I pick up all stitches on the knitted side and after watching this I feel I should continue doing it like that. But with a knitting needle, I keep splitting the yarn with the crochet hook.

1.00 u monster, u impaled timmy 😅🤣 ty for the videos they help

fantastic video. Thanks.

Thank you! My scarf had this weird looking hole in it, aaand of course I unravelled 4 rows to save it only to realise it was there again when I resumed knitting... Thanks to your video I realised it was a dropped stitch and now my scarf is puuurfect ♥

Okay, you are great and you crack me up!😂 Impale Timmy!

nice narration i love it n enjoyed

Brilliant! I will forever name my dropped stitches Timmy and help him climb up the ladder!

So nothing bad happened eh? Twice even. Whoa! You sure you're not related to LethalFeline? I like your sense of humor, it's so close to his! I love this course of yours. Truly do.

Very useful, it helps a lot

thank you so much for the picking up dropped stitches because I could never figure out which way to turn it. Is it the same when you're doing stocking net and garter stitch? thank you

Thankyou sooooooo much! 😍

Thank you for teaching me how to be Lassie!

Very good and easy.thx

This was perfect 😍

Thank you!!!!

Would this be the same for a purl knit pattern?? Purl a round and knit a round on circular needles??

Thank you so so much! You literally just saved me from having a full on mental breakdown

Just found sheep &stitch, happy, happy lady

Very good❤

You saved my scarf.. Thank you

You are so cute and great information!!!! Thanks!

Love your videos❤ Thank you for putting in the time and being such a great teacher!

Would you be able to make a video on how to save a stitch that falls off on the end when you finish a row? I’ve had that happen a couple of times where the stitch slips off of the needle before I can work the next row and am not sure how to fix it properly.

Thank you so much! This stressed me out lol. Learning how to knit is frustrating. I can crochet lol.

Now I know how to rescue Timmy if he falls into the well, thanks!

This help alot! Thanks. But how to fix dropped edge stitch? >

I think Timmy is forever going to b part of my knitting now

I feel like I just performed surgery on Timmy since he fell on cable stitch hell but he’s back with his family

I'm confused! At 6:10, you've just completed the first purl. It looks like you then turn the needle 180° with the stitch on it to begin the next knit row, is that correct? I would have assumed once you are done the purl correction you would pinch the stitch and remove the needle again and insert it from the bottom? Help!

It's always Timmy in the well. Why is it always Timmy?Timmy is a clumsy oaf. XD

please do a lesson on going back several rows it really confuses me when you're pulling out rows. thank you

I love you!!!!!!!

Just thinking, what if you turn the swatch around and knit the dropped, turn the swatch around and knit again. Keep turning the project around until you get to the needle. Slip a marker in the stitch and anker it to the needle. It is now ready to be properly added when you get back to that stitch. Could/would that work?

I had a ladder line bur no little timmy so I am not sure what type of mistake I made. I know how to knit and purl but it doesn’t matter how carefully I go, I still make loads of mistakes that I can’t fix. I end up unpicking the whole lot and starting again. I am now going to try amd crochet because knitting is too difficult to get right and correct mistakes. I hope crocheting is easier.

Can you pl demonstrate how to cast off in the middle of the knitting

my garter stiches are done with knitting, is that suppost to happen?

PLEASE give advice…my Timmy is a cable stitch I have no idea what to do, imma be dead if I have to start over

you could use a crochet hook to bring timmy up the ladder. ha ha

Could you also use a crochet hook. That's what I use :)

Help!! I've dropped a stitch at the end of my mistake rib and I don't know how to retrieve it

I've this problem for first time yesteday evening.... Today "I must absoutely go to her channel, she will help me for sure" . Problem --- Davina --- Solution :D

Neat!!!

Can somebody please help me? I accidently have done something i dont know what for one stitch and i had to pull my yarn to to get to the previous row to have all normal stitches. I have done that by putting my yarn off of the needles. I was using round needles. And when i put a whole previous row on my needle again, it appeired that my right side is the one on which i can stitch. It has to be the wrong side. So now i dont know how to turn it back to the wrong side ... 😐

my problem is i dont have a loop to start this off. like i only have ladders! i dont know how to fix it

omg thank you so much, managed to save my own timmy

Wouldn't it be easier to use a 3rd needle or a stitch holder to hold the stitches on the side while you slip timmy back on to the needle?

Yes !!!!!

When I noticed a drop stitch I never have that loop it's just ladders ? How would I pick up Timmy so I can go up the ladder please

Pretty please? :/ It's a problem that plagues me! I spend hours stuck trying to figure out how to amend a dropped stitch at the edge. Especially if the last two stitches on the row fell off for two rows. I end up having to frog an entire row or two and pick up from there again. Kindly show me/us the way with a tutorial! There are two others online but they don't quite explain two dropped edge stitches and I believe the situation is a little different! I'd be highly appreciative!

If I had found this video a few weeks ago, I need not have to frog my project....

Send help, I’m visually impaired. I can’t tell the difference between the knit and purl side.

It's very difficult picking up dropped stitches on wooly fibery yarn! So next time pl use that and thinner needles.
