Knitwear / sweater: stitches go up

Who does not know that. There you have a nice sweater or other knitwear, and on closer inspection, a scam goes on. Before mutating into a hole, I grab a paperclip and turn it into a tool to quickly rescue the knit and knitwear.

From the left, place the open sheet of the paper clip directly next to the stitching, carefully pierce, thread in and guide inwards. Then sew this stitch from the inside with 2 - 3 stitches.

You can also take a crochet hook for it. But not always there is one at hand, e.g. in the office and there is a paper clip really a good solution. I always have one in my wallet if I notice something wrong on the way. At home, I sew the loop then quickly.

You can also bring along a mini bottle of cheap colorless nail polish while you're on the move and stick the rescued stitch a little bit from the left. Until sewing it is definitely enough.
