I finished my doily last night, then I was checking it over because deep down in my heart I just knew there was going to be at least one problem, and of course, there was. . .
A wayward stitch that came apart and now I really am quite clueless on how to fix it. It was part of one of those blasted knit three together stitches that was almost more than I could do with crappy addi size zeros! I finally learned the best way to do them for my hands, but as you can see, it was difficult to determine if all the stitches were actually caught, and I did try to be sure they were, but crap! One got away from me.
I know how to pull this back into the stitches to make it look right, but how do I secure the final stitch!?? This might end up in the UFO never to be resurrected pile.
So, here is a final shot of the doily unblocked, cause I'm not gonna go to all the trouble of blocking if a stitch is going to run right down to the middle - does anyone out there have any suggestions??

I would pull the stitch to the back in a place that it will look ok from the front, then take a short length of the yarn you knitted with, and pull it through the stitch, pull it through the back of a neighboring stitch, and tie the two together. But that is me - I am rather lax about what the back side of my knitting looks like...
I'm with Melanie and Caroline. I think if you duplicate stitch one stitch above and catch the stitch into the right place you'll be fine.
