Film Advance - Help

This morning I loaded my iif and the rewind knob moved. Now 14 shots on it hasn't moved 😮

Do I carry on or open the camera and check the film 🤔

Thank you

I’d check, a darkroom or changing bag can be handy, sometimes I improvised with really thick (as in lightproof) jackets.

Tighten the rewind knob - advance the film. No movement = misload.

No point in carrying on.

Tighten the rewind knob. Does it go tight or can you rewind the film without having to set the rewind lever to rewind? If so the film was not secure on the take-up spool.

When you were winding on the first 14 shots was the rewind knob turning evenly a whole frame or just moving slightly? Again a misload. Or maybe the sprocket wheel has torn the film at frame 14 ?

Thank you. Tried this and the film had not enagaged

Thankfully the photos 'taken' were not important.
