Checking your number of stitches

I am making fingerless gloves for a co-worker. I completed one easily but was working on the second one when I noticed I dropped a stitch. I could use a crochet needle and weave the dropped stitch slowly up the three rows it had fallen to or I could unknit those three rows. Since this is a really easy pattern, I decided to take it out completely. The most important point to this blog is to always check your stitches between working on your pattern. This pattern increases almost every three rows and I should have check my stitches between those rows. Maybe I would not have to pull it apart and begin again. Remember count your stitches!! Happy Knitting!
