RE: Learning to Knit One Stitch At a Time
Honestly I don't know where my stoppers are any more. I just stick the needles in my ball of yarn. As for dropped stitches, you pick them up using a crochet hook. Hook your way bach up to the needle and place the loop back on the needle. Also, some patterns use dropped stitches on purpose to create lace.

Thank you so much for these awesome tips! Oh wow, using a crochet hook for dropped stitches sounds cool and doable. Now I’m curious to see if I can do it.
I had no idea dropped stitches were used to create lace.
Lace is usually knit with yarn-over/decrease combinations to create the holes, but dropping a stitch to create a series of holes is sometimes used. My favorite shawl is made in this way https://busy.org/@fiberfrau/dropped-stitch-shawl
Ahhh okay that makes sense. I can see how the yo and decreases create the holes. Thanks!
That’s a pretty shawl!
