I did it! I did it! After years of knitting and being terrified of a dropped stitch, and not being able to visualize it, I found it and did it! Thank you thank you!

@shopaholicS2 I'd assume you just turn around your work and do it the same way; a purl is, as you said, just the opposite of a knit stitch.

[shopaholicS2]

how do you pick up a dropped stitch for purl? when you put a purl stitch back on the needle, is it the opposite way of a knit stitch?

Whats with all the words, can't see the video! These instruction videos are useless when you can't see what is actually being done!

[vheptonstall]

might have been possible to pick up a dropped stitch if I could actually see the video and not just a full screen of transcribed speech!
