Oh my gosh, so I normally, when I am not knitting, push all the stitches to the back of the needle and store both needles, inside my ball of wool, point down for safety's sake incase I fall asleep on top of my knitting (although, most of the time, Lexi falls asleep on top of my knitting before I get the chance!).
Well, I was over eager to knit the other day and pulled the the needles (which turned out to be both needles as I passed out half way through a row, so there were stitches on both sides), I pulled off all the stitches!!!!!
I have made such great progress so far and was not willing to sacrifice my work, so I needed to act fast, and very carefully to ensure none of the stitches were dropped or lost.
I got about a third of the way, only to discover that it wasn't as simple as threading all the stitches onto one needle. Since I was half way through a row, I needed to thread both sides so that I could continue knitting from where I left off.
Thank goodness I managed to rescue it and saved the day!
