I just finished the second arm on a top-down seamless sweater for my 2 year old GD and was admiring my work when I noticed a dropped stitch on the first arm about 14 rows down. Luckily I was able to grab it with my tiniest crochet hook, work it down to the last row, and then "uncast off" about 25 stitches until I got to the naughty one. I'm so glad I caught it before giving it to my GD. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Oh no, never. Hahahahaha.

Glad you rescued the stitch.

One time I wore a pair of socks I had just finished. When I took my shoes off hours later, I had a big hole in my toe -- somehow I dropped a stitch, so the new sock had to be mended.

Most definitely. you are not alone. but patience is the answer when knitting. LOL

Isn't it sooooo satisfying when you finally got to the top and knew you had that little sucker....

When I read the title of your post it reminded me of a dog I rescued from the shelter 2 hours before it was due to be put down, and my husband named him ITNOT (in the nick of time).

I love that. Both of my sons and daughters-in-law have rescues: one has a beagle mix, the other 3 pugs.

This same thing happened to me. I was showing my stepdaughter the socks I made and when I took off my shoe my big toe was showing threw. what a laugh we had. She got me some threat and a needle and I just sewed it back together.
