I should know better than to knit Noro Silk Garden Sock as a ‘first sock of the morning’.

But what better opportunity for a little TIP on how to deal with skipped stitches ;o)

Here you can see two stitches to the right of the yellow hash mark did not knit (while doing a heel and suddenly hit thicker yarn).

This is a very easy fix, whether one stitch or twenty!

With your pick-tool, and BELOW the wayward bit of yarn that did not knit, grab the loop of the stitch from the needle, and pull it outward

and then upward, over the wayward yarn, and back onto the needle (trapping that wayward sucker of a piece of yarn and turning it into a stitch).

LESSONS LEARNED:

1. Saving a skipped stitch is easy.

 2. Don’t knit Noro in the morning.
