[Nfb-krafters-korner] Dropped sttch query

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Well yesterday I brought my knitting to the Super Bowl party at the VFW  
club.  I finished the thumb on the mitten I was working on while sitting  
there listening to everyone.  I started the next mitten and had lots of  
comments while I sat there working on it.  I got up to the decreasing at  the top 
of the fingers and yep you guessed it on the third row of decreasingI  
dropped a stitch.  I chased it down and 2 more managed to slip off.   So I sat 
there and started frogging one stitch at a time.  Before I left or  should I 
say put it in the bag and decided to try again today sometime I was  maybe 5 
rows away from the thumb hole.  I still have an uneven   feeling in an area 
so I will go back a couple more rows to try to figure out  what that is 
coming from.  I probably should have just taken the stitches  off the needle and 
ripped it back and then picked up the stitchs.  It was  all plain knit 
stitches so that is easier then ripping on a combination of knit  & purl stitches.

Thanks  everyone, this does make me feel like I'll get there in time, just a
matter  of being patient, practicing and I really like the suggestion of
checking  how you are feeling at the time of knitting, that makes a great
deal of  sense. I'm sure I have often been attempting to knit when not  
fully
focussed, so perhaps when I get interrupted, I'll just put the  knitting 
down
till later. I appreciate all the suggestions and will get  some bulkier yarn
and learn how both the knit and purl stitch are  constructed, that sounds a
great idea. Thanks so much for the sharing and  info. Valerie
