[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Knitting help

[Lovette Yewchan]

Hi there. I am knitting the mittens that were posted a couple of years ago by someone on this list.
I got to the thumb and what a mess I have. If I use the stitches that were on the older, there are big gaps and it’s like some stitches ran down a few rows. I tried to pick them up but no success.
Besides starting again, does anyone have any ideas?
