Currently in a pool of spaghetti as found my stitch count was out by one in a lace panel of Begonia Swirl Shawl and laddered down section. I also found handy Knitting with Suzanne Bryan’s info on fixing lace. Thank you

When I knit a lace pattern I add a lifeline line about every 4 rows, usually on the WS of the work if they are purl rows. Makes it easier to count my stitches when putting back on the needles and being all purl stitches also makes it easier. I’ve found if I do this, which is a pain, but then if I make a mistake I only have to go back 4 rows. I use a very heavy thread so it doesn’t get mixed with my new stitches.

Thank you for sharing "fixing the mistake methods". Other than a life-line I am not aware of how to fix a mistake in a lace pattern. But here is a link to Roxanne Richard's youtube channel that may help.

Another method of fixing a knitting mistake I have tried is to ladder back the vertical stitches above the mistake and using a crochet hook reposition the stitches correctly up the vertical row. I hope that makes sense.
