I'm working on afghan, the patterns is from MASSON DIXIE book and is
all done on garter stitch. I discovered to my chagring that I have
"lost" a stich about 5 rows back. I have always been able to pick up
the stitches with a crochet hook. But when I tried to do it on garter
stitch it comes out as if I had knitted stockinette stitch.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Nancy

Insert your crochet hook from the other side

.. every other row. Or, pick up a stitch on the knit side, then put the
bar in front of that stitch and twist your hook so you pick it up upside
down.
