    As my mother used to say...a man on horseback’s not going to notice it! Perfect. i love how you don’t get bent out of shape over boo-boos! i don’t either! i seldom rip back...no one has ever spotted my fixes or mistakes. life is too short! wabi sabi on!

      Perfection is overrated. In 99% of cases the only person who notices it is the knitter and we need to be kinder to ourselves!

    Hooray! This simple little video is still helping people fix the holes in their knitting! Also, it's interesting to see how important it is to get that yarn positioned correctly. I'm not very dexterous at switching the yarn from back to front to go from a knit to a purl stitch and back!

      Glad it was helpful! I enjoy problem solving for knitters- always happy to consider requests and questions. Many happy stitches to you.

    You're an excellent instructor!
    Very clear, articulate directions and great visuals to accompany the directions.
    Thanks so much for posting such helpful tutorials.

    I just started knitting a couple weeks ago, and have kept my mistake-laden swatches as a reminder. They’ll make perfect swatches to practice how to make repairs when I knit real projects.

    • @LucyNeatby2000

      Congratulations! It's a wonderful activity. Keeping your swatches for practice is a great idea. Always happy to answer questions (I'm bit slow with this reply as I've been traveling). Happy stitches to you.

    Thank you, as a new knitter I need to know how to fix all kinds of mistakes! Your video is excellent, no wasted time, now fancy camera work and very clear close ups. Last video I watched had most of the work done off to the side, mostly out of camera range!!!

    • @LucyNeatby2000
      @LucyNeatby2000  5 років тому

      Thank you - the ability to correct errors without ripping is very reassuring. I have a 16 disc DVD series which covers a lot of useful techniques including lots of excellent fixes.

    You’ve told me what I wanted to hear with the darning method. All the other videos like this just tell me to rip it back lol

    • @LucyNeatby2000
      @LucyNeatby2000  3 роки тому

      I'm glad it worked for you. I regard ripping back as a last resort. There is much more to be learned from attempting to fix something. Sometimes a simulation is good enough. Happy stitches!

    Love that you kindly find a way to make good of a mistake, as you would to someone else. Life is too short to do otherwise.

    I know it might seem like you made this video ages ago, but I've only just discovered it and it's helped me so much. So, thank you for the time you took to make this. It's so clear. Many smiles!

    • @LucyNeatby2000

      Thanks Jeni, I love solving knitting challenges! I try to release new clips periodically and like to have questions to answer. Happy stitches to you.

    I just discovered exactly this problem while knitting a hat ... I know it was a yarn over because I remember while knitting that something looked kind of "wonky" and then lo & behold I see a small hole 2 rows below ... thank you Lucy for this tip ... I tried your 2nd method and it worked seamlessly

  • @jonnaking3054

    What I usually do if I discover the yarn over on the row right after it occurred, I will simply knit the yarn over together with the next stitch, that way it doesn't for another stitch and it SEEMS more less undetectable, though it will have a tiny hole in it. I know it's kinda lazy but is that acceptable in knitting?

    • @LucyNeatby2000
      @LucyNeatby2000  2 роки тому

      As long as you are happy with the resulting appearance (which should be almost undetectable) it's absolutely fine. You could also let the yarnover go and share out the extra yarn with about 5 stitches on either side. It's amazing how much yarn there is in a yarnover!!!

  • @maggiepatterson7949
    @maggiepatterson7949 3 роки тому

    But the stitch count if off, isn’t it? so k2tog at the edge(s) to remove the extra stitch(es)?

    • @LucyNeatby2000
      @LucyNeatby2000  3 роки тому

      If it's an accidental hole - then it's an addition, thus 'decreasing' it away restores the stitches to the original number.

  • @akkie2418
    @akkie2418 8 років тому

    I was wondering if that extra stitch wouldn't give too much extra width in the fabric (like if this was a vest or a sweater)?
    It is a really clever tip! Thanks for sharing!

    • @LucyNeatby2000
      @LucyNeatby2000  8 років тому +1

      +Akkie 24 It would depend on the circumstances but mostly it would be unlikely. It could be subtly decreased away somewhere else later.

    I wish I learned about rescues a long time ago. This video was very good, but the sewing is a bit confusing. I think I need to learn how to sew properly anyway since I just guessed on how to do it in the past.
