My name is Donna, I am retired from the Air Force and live in Ohio.
I spent 6 wonderful years in Charleston SC and then on to Iceland
for a year.....I loved it there and the Lopi/Alfoss yarns. Then I
was lucky enough to finish my career in my home town. I have
enjoyed several needlecrafts.....crochet, crosstitch, broomstick
lace, needlepoint and knitting. I recently started knitting
again....In the past I never advanced past one baby sweater and
several scarf's and now I have finished several baby hats using
circular needles and doublepoints for the decreasing....I was real
happy as I hate to sew seamsG anyway I just finished a knit from
the neck down baby sweater and had some problems as the directions
were not correct but was able to go by the picture and figure it
out...I really enjoyed this technique so ordered a pattern and yarn
[Plymouth Yarn design studio] Baby Raglan Cardigans with hats but am
stumped; after you cast on for the neckband you RS Knit a row, next
is the WS:

K1, (yo, k2tog) across.

Ok my question is do I continue this across including the K1 or just
do it once and the rest are yo, k2tog?

The pattern has a ribbon tie so I assume the yo's are for the ribbon.

Anyway I have enjoyed lurking here the last couple months.

Welcome, Donna! I'm an AF mom and m.i.l., my kid(s), DD and SIL are
currently in FL, after a 4 year duty in Japan. Both served in Iraq,
HE served in first Iraq and also Afghanistan. SHE also served in
Korea.

Wow they are to be commended for their service....and you for all the
worrying you must have done while they were away. I never wanted to go to
Korea which Is why I picked Iceland for my short tour.

HI from another Donna,

You've already got your answer to the question so I'll
talk about the other stuff you mentioned.
I'm retired Navy, my DH soon will be retired AF (Jan07), and we also
were in Iceland
and South Carolina (Shaw AFB)..Our oldest DD was born in Iceland
in"92...when were you there?

Donna in S. Indiana

LOL oh god I will give away my ageG I got to Charleston in 1975 and went
to Iceland in 80/81. I loved the Icelanders...we had several girls that
worked in my office and they were a never ending source of amusement and
wisdom.

Hi Donna,
I am also new to the group and was an Air force wife for 23 years. We
spent time in California, Texas, England, Virginia and Arizona. My
hobbies sometimes maintained my sanity. I am also an AirForce Mom.
My son, Dil and grandchildren are in Japan (Kadina) and are not due
back for another year. My grandson is only 2 months old. Thank God
for IM as I get to talk to them frequently and due to the Web Cam I
get to see the babies. If only they could figure out how to add touch
to the system.

23 years? you deserve a medal!
I live in Las Vegas and am happily married for the second time.

I never got married and am happily single ;-) I used to give crochet
classes at the rec center at Charleston, I played slots in the Navy Clubs in
IcelandG never won much but it was fun.

Hi, Donna, and welcome,

Wooly took care of your question, and I'm not affiliated with the
military in any way, but I do knit and crochet. This is a great group
and I'm glad you've joined us.


Thanks! I also love to read Mysteries and Sci Fi and now that I am knitting
can't do both at the same time so I started checking out audio books from
the Library and that seems to work pretty good.
