Wow , got mine in Wisconsin on Saturday. Just saw Cat Bordhi in person at the Knitter’s Guild. The sock is great . My word is granite.

My onyx banded River Rock arrived today in MN.

What’s your September 09 label say?

I’ve got “SANDSTONE“.

I also mistakenly stated this under last year’s September post… I was just so excited I lost myself in all the giddiness!

Waaah :(

My tracking info shows my package as missent and it’s up in Camas WA. Nice detour, but I was hoping to have it today since I’m laid up with knee surgery and can’t go to OFFF. Just a wee pity party for me.

Fraggle toe questions

May '09 Kit Questions | September 25, 2009

I am having problems with my brain.

I’m making the medium size of the Fraggle rock pattern and I don’t understand how there can be 33 instep stitches given the patterns in play. At the end of the gusset there were 35 instep stitches and working to the end of the 4th round gives me 5 right squiggle, 7bubble stitch and surrounding purls, 10 squiggle lace, 7 bubble, 6 left squiggle — total of 35. Should I just omit the yo’s in the right and left squiggles?

Also, although I think I kind of get the concept behind the pattern toe, I don’t understand the directions. Can anyone rephrase in terms of the position at the beginning or end of the instep or sole sections? It says “next decrease” for both 2nd and 4th but shouldn’t one be done at the end of the instep/beg of sole and the other beg of instep, end of sole?

Thanks

Just got mine in MO

Colors are fading

Hi Tina:  I am having problems with severe fading of the yarn (blue from the beaded and the last fall garden colors which I love but after the first wash dull compared to remaining yarn).  I wash in cold water and use Woolite.  Help, what am I doing wrong?
