Question

How do I pick up a stitch I dropped?

Answer

I usually use a crochet hook or a knitting machine seed stitch hook which has a hooks on each ends. Many times when I made mistakes and had to rip a few columns off and then I reknit with my knitting needle. It is easier to see how to do it rather than me explaining. So I've collected a few resources for you to check them out below.
