Dropped a knitting stitch and it magically fixed itself mid-row. | Glitch In The Matrix

Now I'm half-convinced my needles are haunted by helpful ghosts.

Check the yarn tension before jumping to ghosts. Stitches fix themselves all the time from normal knitting moves. Your needle might have caught the loop without you feeling it. Haunted tools? Come on, that's just ignoring basic craft skills. Have you never had a mistake undo itself when you weren't looking? It's luck, not spirits.

Wait, the stitch fixed ITSELF mid-row? That's definitely haunted help right there.

Consider the physics of a loose loop catching on the next stitch as you slide the work. That dropped stitch probably rode up the needle shaft when you weren't looking and hooked back into place. My grandma's old needles did stuff like that all the time, worn smooth from use. It feels like magic, but it's just yarn being sneaky.
