[Nfb-krafters-korner] Success this weekend

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi Terry,
I am sorry I couldn't explain things better. I am not real good at this myself. Wait, I have only done it once or twice. But I was trying to say that the stitches you had on your needle were the ones that had to go. So putting them on a lifeline wouldn't get them off. But your knitting friend, who knows more then me, helped you and I am glad.

As we started the meeting, I picked up the knitting, took off the rubber band and started knitting.  I had a hard time getting started because the blanket felt so heavy but I finally got started.  After a few stitches, 7 to be exact, I was shocked, I had started to knit in a circle instead of turning my item around.  I am using circular needles, but making a flat item. I put it away until I got home.  I wondered if a life line would help me take the stitches out and put them on the left needle.  I called Joyce and got no answer.  Then I tried Henrietta.  We talked for a bit, but I was not sure I could do it.  I then thought of calling one of the ladies from my knitting group.  She suggested using a smaller needle to put the stitch on and putting it on the other needle.  She said something about going in the row before.  I had no idea what she ment until I finally tried it.  What a chalange, but I got all seven safely back where they belong.  I took each stitch off, one by one and opened the stitch below, got the needle or my finger in the stitch below and pulled out the stitch and slid the stitch on the left needle.  I sure am glad I saved my blanket.  I do not want to have to knit all that again!
