Help with old english knitting directions
Hey all, me again!
I am posting on behalf of a friend who has been asked to knit some socks from an old english pattern, circ. 1940'ish. this is this part that she is having problems with, can any of you knitted brained wonders help please??? D-1/2"-5 I-1/2"-10 B-4-2R-8 There are no gaps, what you are seeing above is exactly how it is written. I can't figure it out, and neither can she which is saying something as she is a very experienced knitter but these have her stumped!! they are not following on from each other, but they are the only instructions that just don't make sense to her... Any and all advice is, as always, appreciated!! Rach |

we need more of this pattern to know what they are on about, D must mean
something as do I and B although if it is a lot of colours listed as ABCDEFGHI then of course that would account for it, or a part of the pattern that is listed as these Abbrevs. instead of repeat from * - ** it may mean Knit in colour D for 1/2 -5 meaning five rows...could be anything til we get to see the pattern as a whole. hugz cher "Rach *in NZ*" wrote in message ...

Hi Rach,
I have to agree with Cher. I just got out my old book with an Argyle sock patterns and there are three or more colors and it says something like this Knit 2G-13 N-1 M-1 G-13 and like that. Hope this helps. Hugs, Nora |
