learning to knit - help!

Ok, finally figured out cast on, knit, & purl. Tried to start a shaw
pattern: http://webs.lanset.com/potwench/robroy.htm

Ok, did ok up to line 7. Start line 7, I have 9 loops on the hook, how the
heck am I supposed to fit all these stitches onto just 9 loops?
K1, inc, *k1, yo, p1, p3tog, p1, yo,* k1, inc, k1.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^
1 2 3 4 5,6,7 8 9 10 11

??? aarrgghhh! help please

Here's where your nine stitches a
K1, inc, *k1, yo, p1, p3tog, p1, yo,* k1, inc, k1.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^
1 2 3 4,5,6 7 8 9

The increase is usually made by knitting into the front and back of one
stitch, in this set that would be stitches 1 and 8. If you do not already
have good knitting instructions, someone else here can either describe how,
or recommend an URL with a good diagram of how to do this kind of increase.

Okay usually the increase is on the next stitch so that first increase than
k1 would be on one loop same with the last

Really? I was under the impression it was on the next stitch. Like in this
example, it states to knit 1, than increase on the next one

You may be right. Upon closer inspection of the pattern Bryan is using,
they are using a different increase -- lifting the bar between two stitches.
This should be done between stitches 1 and 2, and between 8 and 9.

Bryan:

Just in case you didn't get the answer you're looking for. . .

You have 9 sts at this point - so I tried to show where these 9 sts
go to (numbers in [] show the 'original' stitches):

Row 7: K1, inc, *k1, yo, p1, p3tog, p1, yo * k1, inc, k1
[1] (add) [2] (add) [3] -3 [4,5,6] [7] (add) [8] (add) [9]
(total stitches at end of the row = 11 sts)

Does this help?? If not, I (or someone else) might be able to think of
another way to say/show it.

I've found this to called Make one (or M1), but if there aren't enough =
sitiches the result would be that you would have one stitch more, so =
maybe that is right.

Ok, this makes sence on "paper", I'll give it a try later. It'll probably be
a while tho as I told my sister if she whats her shawl soon, to pich a
crochet patter, and I think she's found 1 or 2 I can do. So, after that's
done I'll come back to this and try later.

Thanks for the explnation!
