Debbie Stoller is the BEST! Her Stitch 'n Bitch Knitter's Handbook gave me the idea for how to fix my knitting. I decided that the only way I could fix it would be to unravel to the row below the errors. Debbie illustrates how to do this by running a very thin needle threw a row below the errors and then unraveling to that point. I don't have any other needles. I do have darning needles and plenty of yarn.
First, I had to take the work off of the circular needles. I did that by running piece of yarn through the stitches that were on the needle. I removed the needle and laid the work flat. At that point the piece became very curled up. So I pinned it to the ironing board and applied steam. That worked great, it still curled but not quite so much.
Then I ran another needle and thread through the stitches in the row below the error. I removed the top thread and unraveled. Voila! I was able to put the piece back on the needles with only one dropped stitch. I can't believe I did it!
