I'm finding the cables to be VERY slow going. This is my first cable project and I'm trying very hard to make no mistakes. Last night, I got near the end of row 7, and realized that I somehow lost 2 of the stitches off of one of the 1-into-5 increases from the previous row. Does that make sense? One of my sets of 5 has only 3 stitches.
Is there a way to recover the 2 stitches without ripping back almost 2 whole rows? I was way too tired to think this through late last night, so maybe this is an easy fix. I plan to play with a swatch tonight to see if I can do it. I'm using felted tweed in a dark color -- it is so hard to see stitches clearly sometimes.
Thank you!!

I figured it out! Yes, it is possible to recreate the missing stitches. It took me an hour, pulling apart a series of increases on a swatch, but I figured it out. (Basically, all 5 sts are pulled through the same loop; I poked a tiny crochet hook through the loop holding the 3rd stitch, twisted it around to create a new loop, and pulled through the tail to create the 4th stitch, then did it again to create the 5th stitch.) It was REALLY tight. I pushed the yarn down to the cable so there was more room to work.
