Thank you so much for these awesome tips! Oh wow, using a crochet hook for dropped stitches sounds cool and doable. Now I’m curious to see if I can do it.
I had no idea dropped stitches were used to create lace.

Lace is usually knit with yarn-over/decrease combinations to create the holes, but dropping a stitch to create a series of holes is sometimes used. My favorite shawl is made in this way https://busy.org/@fiberfrau/dropped-stitch-shawl
Ahhh okay that makes sense. I can see how the yo and decreases create the holes. Thanks!
That’s a pretty shawl!
