[Nfb-krafters-korner] dropped stitches, I'm crying now!! need advice!

Cathy;
Take the smaller needle and think of it as a single, long needle and your
new needle as a new long needle.
Knit from the smaller needle to the larger, using the k5, p1 patern
You are knitting your circle onto the bigger needle.
Be sure your larger needle closes and continue knitting in the round.

Hi all,

 

Well, I was making such good progress with knitting my vest. Then, I had
finished the ribbing and was attempting to transfer my stitches onto a
larger neeedle when, oh my, oh no, but yes!!! I began dropping stitches. I
grabbed stitch markers and dove down into the yarn searching for the dropped
stitches. I would catch one only to lose the one next to it. 

long story short,I frogged the vest and began it again tonight. So my
question is this, what is the best way to transfer stitches to a new
circular needle when knitting in the round? I attempted to transfer over a
stitch at a time, but the stitches got twisted and began jumping off of my
needles. 

 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great day!!

Cathy F
