I’m knitting a hat in the round and apparently lost track of my starting stitch marker for a few rows ;( So it got stuck into a stitch several rows down. Unfortunately it isn’t a locking/unlocking marker so I had to cut it off and now have a pretty but useless stitch marker.
My question is—was there a better way to remove this? Logically, I know there has to be but it is somehow not coming to me. Also, other than paying more attention & not watching TV while knitting, is there a better way to avoid this in the future?
I feel pretty lame even posting this, but…TIA
