Catastrophe!

The other night I was happily knitting along admiring my speedy progress on my pretty socks when I looked down and suddenly there it was, a dropped stitch.


Oh the horror!!
It looked like I dropped it several rows before I noticed it and had been knitting along oblivious to the impending unraveling.
In this situation any good knitter will tell you there is only one thing to do: swear...and then fix it. Which is what I did.



To fix this error I had to capture the runaway stitch and then loop it through the strands of yarn between the stitches still on the needle. Ugh!



A few minutes of swearing and eye-strain later and ta-da! Fixed



Yay! No holey socks for this girl!
