#fixdroppedstitches

April 12 I shared a cool DIY tool one can use to make fixing dropped sock stitches easier. Last night I created another exact item from a second container I happened to find. Today I’m sending this to a helpful CSMer who liked the idea. :) Pay it forward. :) (One can still instead of this, use elastics as an aid when fixing dropped stitches) For more info either way see my blog https://www.csmlove.com/blog/z152c43adomf5l72d9jzgqwbi7h628 Also found on my website under BLOG or BLOG INDEX “Dropped Stitch Fixing” ;) #ribbedsocks #1x1 #1x3 #ribber #72cylinder #ribber #droppedstitches #fixdroppedstitches #livestitchneedlelock #elastics #csmdroppedstitches #csm #circularsockknittingmachine #legare400 #ptlegare #legare #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel #csmlove (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/COn9OVJJykV/?igshid=1t22u80577agh

THE LIVE STITCH NEEDLE LOCK - AN ALTERNATIVE TO ELASTICS I recently came up with an elastic alternative as I’m often losing elastics (or they break). I created the D.I.Y.: LIVE STITCH NEEDLE LOCK (Version 3.0) - Recycling a unused red lid of the perfect diameter, I trimmed it to cover half the cylinder needles on my 72 needle slot cylinder. It clips gently in place and can have knitting easily laid on top during re-latching of any dropped stitch as it protects against snagging the hooks. I strongly suggest making yourself one if you can find a lid with the perfect diameter and have a dremel to shape the plastic. See my blog entry for more info on this and the techniques involved https://www.csmlove.com/blog/z152c43adomf5l72d9jzgqwbi7h628 Also found on my website under BLOG or BLOG INDEX or the quick lookup INDEX page ;) #ribbedsocks #1x1 #1x3 #ribber #72cylinder #ribber #droppedstitches #fixdroppedstitches #livestitchneedlelock #elastics #csmdroppedstitches #csm #circularsockknittingmachine #legare400 #ptlegare #legare #sockknittingmachine #antiquesockmachine #knitting #karenramel #csmlove (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjrsraJX0D/?igshid=wclx5m2zp11i
