Leafling gusset question
March Kit Questions | March 27, 2008
I’ve reached the gusset increase, and it doesn’t seem to be working out for me. I’m knitting size small. According the the pattern, in gusset round 1, after knitting the 21 pattern stitches and the RLI, I need to knit to the last 29 stitches, then s1,k1 14 times, etc. This makes the leaf pattern off-center. UNLESS, the beginning of the row has moved? If so, I don’t see any mention of the start of the row moving. What am I missing??? Thanks!
Apparently, I don’t really know how to knit! HELP!
General Knitting Questions, March Kit Questions | March 27, 2008
Can someone help me? On Leafling, I keep ending up with too many stitches between the markers after the first row in which we do the LLI and RLI increases. I’m probably not doing them correctly- but I’m stumped so far. I am making the size large. I knew how to knit yesterday, really I did!
Cleaning up from January and keeping the blog tidy.
Announcements, March Kit Questions | March 25, 2008
Mostly just re-categorized some posts. I only remember combining two posts on the same subject. The “photo links” post and “I’m finished” post will stick around for another couple of weeks before reverting to normal status from announcement status which is what keeps them at the top of the blog .
Thank you everyone for keeping your “It’s Here” together as comments to the original post. I’m sure our “feed” readers appreciate that.
If you happen to be a speed knitter that got your kit early please hold off on posting photos here for at least a couple of weeks. However first one done gets to title and start the “WhooHoo I’m finished post”! Everyone please be on the look out for that post. If you’re first and after you post send me an e-mail via the blog mom contact I’ll magically convert your post to an Announcement sticky!Happy Spring everyone. Enjoy the new kit when you get it and in the meanwhile you can play the game Tina posted earlier via a link to luckycharms.
Sizing
March Kit Questions, Notorious Sock Knitters | March 25, 2008
This is less of a question and more of a warning to those already knitting. Yesterday on Ravelry there was a brief discussion about the size of the sock and if it looks larger then normal. I went home and tried mine on and found that the size medium which should fit me, fit my calf but was too loose as I went down my leg. Decreasing 6 stitches (which would make it a size small) is too much (that would be about a 9% reduction) but I found that a 4 stitch reduction made it fit much better. I am still about an inch from the ankle, and since STR tends to bloom a bit in washing I may reduce the last two stitches, but think about this as you either cast on or look at your own projects.(Oh, P.S. My Gauge is about right on par)
Purple Paper?
March Kit Questions | March 23, 2008
My package came the other day and with the notes there was a punched piece of purple paper that was blank. Was there anything else sent with the notes?Thanks,Christine
