Aaaaaah!

So there I am, knitting along happily as I work on my latest baby blanket (SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, STOP HAVING BABIES FOR A MINUTE SO I CAN CATCH UP!), using my shiny new knitting needles from Knit Picks, when my shiny new interchangeable knitting needle came unscrewed from its cable and dumped a bunch of stitches into the ether.

GAH!

Some quick thinking rescued them, but let me tell you, that was NOT good for my blood pressure. I shall have to watch out for that in the future.

BTW, a crochet hook of the appropriate size is very useful for picking up dropped stitches, especially if the start to "run".

*nod* I remember my grandmother using a crochet hook to "rescue" my dropped stitches when she was teaching me how to knit!
