I'm a new knitter, and I really need some help, as I find myself with too
many stitches in the row. I started out with 68. After knitting a few
rows, I now have 69, and I can't find where the extra stitch was added.
Without ripping out and starting over how do I get rid of the extra stitch?

you can just knit two stitches together (as if they were one), maybe at the
beginning or end of a row. (Actually there are a dozen or so ways to
decrease, but this is a simple one, and likly to be inobtrusive at the end
of a row.)

Thank you, Georgia. Simple. Why didn't I think of that?

Next time you will thinkl of it ,,,
Now take care and from time to time count ,,, since you have so many
stiches ,i have an idea for you ,,,, make 3 loops of a different color
than your knitting , count 17 stitches , put loop on needle and when
knitting next rows just move it from needle to needle, knit 17 put 2nd
loop , knit 17 put 3rd loop,,,, this way you will count each 1/4 of
your work has to have 17 stitches and you will feel you control the
number better = feel when you add or loose one !!!
As you describe it you `probably` lifted a thread between the stiches
somewhere with the needle ,,,, take care to have proper lighting when
you work ,,
I wish many years of happy creative knitting ,
