How to pick up or fix a dropped knit stitch:
Whoops! So you've messed up your knitting — bad.
You've got a dropped knit stitch (or more than one), and it's way down there.
That's okay! After you watch this video, you won't care how far down your stitches have gone — I'm going to teach you how to rescue them!
You don't need a crochet hook, either.

https://www.knitfreedom.com/premium
It is just SUCH A BENEFIT.
In this short video you will discover where KnitFreedom Premium student Judi J. was in her knitting before she found KnitFreedom, and where she is now.
Im a very... sporadic knitter, explains Judi, a retired knitter from a tech family who loves going on cruises. I learned to knit and purl in the third grade, and I made one scarf and put knitting away until I was married.
When I got married a made one sweater, I have no idea how, since I had no [knitting knowledge]. I then put knitting away until now [that Im retired].
I realized that I want to do a lot more things, but I have no idea how. I went to take a [private one-on-one] knitting lesson at my local yarn store - that cost $30 an hour. So my first lesson ended up being $75! I went one other time, and then though, I cant afford this!
So I started looking online and I found your site, KnitFreedom. I didnt know what that was so I checked it out and found the Premium program. I started doing the math and realized, Wow, this is cheap! I wanted the whole program and I thought, This works out to less than $15 a month!
So I did it and I can tell you I have not regretted it one bit. I can look so many things up, and on my own time, too, which is, more often than not, at two oclock in the morning. Im not a regular 9-5 person.
Ive now done two pairs of socks, and I never thought I could knit socks! Ive also done two sweaters. When I had a problem on one of my sweaters, I contacted KnitFreedom and they walked me through the whole thing.
Im so happy with the program. One thing I love is theres no pressure! When you listen to Liat start the class, she just speaks so calmly, and Im like, Okay, wheres the pressure? But theres no pressure.
Sometimes, and I think she may do this on purpose, she makes a little mistake and then just says, Thats ok, Im going to walk you through how to fix that! I love that.
And those are some of the reasons why I am so happy with and wholeheartedly recommend the Premium program. Its just such a benefit.")

Visit https://www.knitfreedom.com/knitting-topic toe-up-socks to get more great tips to help you learn how to knit toe-up socks, one- or two-at-a-time.
When to start the Fleegle heel:
A big issue for first-time knitters of toe-up socks is knowing when to start increasing for the Fleegle heel. Fleegle describes the time to start increasing as when the knitting reaches the front of your ankle.
I dont know about you, but my ankle has more of a gradual transition than a demarcation where my foot turns into my leg.
To overcome this issue, heres what to do:
Flex your foot as much as you can — this helps the front of the ankle become more apparent.
Pull the sock onto your foot (which of course is easy because youre using Magic Loop), and hold it as snug as youd like it when youre wearing it. If the knitting reaches the crook in your ankle, youre ready to start the Fleegle heel increases.
Use both hands to pull the sock on. You can see that my knitting is stretched snug and hits what, over time, I have come to judge as the front of my ankle.
If youre not sure, better start increasing. Most people just learning this technique tend to wait too long to start the heel.
