Trouble With Cast On and Number of Stitches - Large

January '09 Kit Questions, Warning Spoilage | March 30, 2009
By birchtreemn@yahoo.com

Hello NSK’s!  I’m having a little bit of trouble, can anyone assist me?

1) Tubular Cast On - I’ve follow the instructions 4 times and end up with the appropriate 80 stitches and then after joining in the round (knit/purl/knit/purl) I  end up with 82 stitches, I must be missing something.  Has this happened to anyone?

- I switched to a Long tail cast on… and then…

2) I had 80 Cast On stiches, did my 10 rows of knit/purl/knit/purl.  Moving to the leg, there are 72 stitches, Do I need to decrease equally or am I missing something?

Thank you NSK’s!

Rosebud question

March '09 Kit Questions, Warning Spoilage | March 28, 2009
By Jen G.

So I just got to my first rosebud and I’ve tried it a few times but it just doesn’t look right.  When you draw the loop of yarn forward through the fabric - is that just like knitting a stitch?  Or are you supposed to draw it through somewhere lower?  Any advice?

Do socks without ribbing stay up?

March '09 Kit Questions, Warning Spoilage | March 28, 2009
By Cathy Johnston

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the March package.  The yarn is gorgeous and the pattern??? Well, I suspected that anything by the Yarn Harlot would be fantastic.   And I’m right.  Can’t wait to start but I’m hesitant.  Anyone have experience about how well socks without ribbing stay up?  I usually extend ribbing on socks to ensure they remain confortable to wear.  But I love the top on these!  I guess I could just dive in….

Fingerless Mitts

Not Socks, Notorious Sock Knitters, Warning Spoilage | February 24, 2009
By Michele

After much ripping, re-knitting and Tina’s discovery of the matching beads at Madrona. (Silly me, left mine at home, thanks again Tina!!!) I now have my fingerless mitts out of the Jan 2009 club yarn :)  I knew I wouldn’t wear beaded socks and the pattern cried out to be mitts.  I’m not the best at modifying patterns so I’m impressed that they actually fit!  This is also my first beaded project so there was a small learning curve.  I  made a short cuff because I hate stuffing cuffs under my coat sleeves.
