*frogged*

I dropped a stitch when attaching yarn for a forethought heel. Toe down sock, stitch on the toe-side of the hole so the stitches are 'upside down'. I cannot get my brain around how to pick it up properly. Anyone with a (link to a) good explanation? I really don't want to unravel the whole foot.

Edit: it’s technically picked up in the pic, but it doesn’t look right in the red/pink colorwork (gaping stitches). I’m looking for the correct way to fix.

@pointysticksncoffee I can't see the dropped stitch. Sometimes we see the mistakes that others won't. If it's in the color-work, I think you're going to have to ask yourself how big a deal it really is. If you could pick it up, you would still have an irregularity because you'd be shoving the existing ones aside, using yarn that isn't there, if that makes sense. If it were me, I'd just accept it.

@temporal_spider @HelenLockhart The stitch is 'picked up' in the image, as in, there's no loose stitches and I have the required amount of stitches on the needles. In the red/pink colorwork there are now gaps and irregularities that I really don't want there (it's the bottom side of the heel), so I wonder how I can go back and fix correctly.

@pointysticksncoffee @HelenLockhart ah, the heel. You could get out your tapestry needle and do some double stitch. If you use the same colors, it will be invisible and reinforce your heel.

@temporal_spider @pointysticksncoffee @HelenLockhart that would have been my suggestion as well. Stitch over it to secure and reinforce everything.
