I think I have been very careful when I knit, and get very distressed to find later, that I have dropped a stitch. Can anyone explain why this phenomenon happens and what I am doing wrong? Being a perfectionist is a terrible plight, and a few weeks ago I knitted my first piece, only to discover I had dropped several stitches. Count me a nut-case, but I became so upset about this discovery, I unraveled the whole thing thinking I would be more careful "next time" and started over. It was especially upsetting to find that even being MORE careful, I still would on occasion drop a stitch. I cannot figure it out.
