Help with pattern from Knitter's Spring 1998
I'm knitting the lace doily on page 72 of the magazine.
I'm almost done, so of course, I finally hit a problem. sigh The Round 87 calls for a very strange combination to be knit into a double yo from the previous round. It's not coming out right!! from the round's instructions: "into front of first yo, work (k1, [yo, k1] twice), then work [yo, k1] twice into front of 2nd yo" In other lace patterns I've seen, the double yos are either knitted into backs and fronts of the double yos or knitted and purled into them. I can't seem to get this combination to come out looking right or even. The biggest problem is with the leading yo into the second of the double yos. Any suggestions? Anyone already work this pattern? If so, how did you handle this? If no one has any other ideas, I may just punt and do the back-and-front knits to increase into the double yo. As long as I'm consistant, I'm wondering if it would make any practical difference as long as I end up with an extra 9 stitches for each double yo. Nyssa, who is also running close on thread for the project, but that's another issue |

: I'm knitting the lace doily on page 72 of the magazine. I'm almost done, so of course, I finally hit a problem. sigh The Round 87 calls for a very strange combination to be knit into a double yo from the previous round. It's not coming out right!! from the round's instructions: "into front of first yo, work (k1, [yo, k1] twice), So into the first YO you're manufacturing 5 stitches: k1, YO, k1, YO, k1 then work [yo, k1] twice into front of 2nd yo" Then into the very next over (I presume there are two overs on your left needle?) you're making four stitches: yo, k1, yo, k1, yo In other lace patterns I've seen, the double yos are either knitted into backs and fronts of the double yos or knitted and purled into them. Same here, but this ought to work, at least from a technical standpoint. I can't seem to get this combination to come out looking right or even. The biggest problem is with the leading yo into the second of the double yos. There's no leading YO anywhere that I can see - you start with a knit stitch for the first set of increases into the first over, same for the second set into the second over. I'm working on a Starmore sweater that has a triple increase directly in to a quadruple increase, one row after the other. I thought it would be 1. impossible and 2. look bad and 3. look REALLY bad, but it disappears into the cablework that commences on round three of the pattern. I did modify her increase METHOD in one instance because it just couldn't be physically done (vertical strand? huh?) otherwise no problem. Any suggestions? Anyone already work this pattern? If so, how did you handle this? If no one has any other ideas, I may just punt and do the back-and-front knits to increase into the double yo. As long as I'm consistant, I'm wondering if it would make any practical difference as long as I end up with an extra 9 stitches for each double yo.

This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

It's not coming out right!! from the round's instructions: "into front of first yo, work (k1, [yo, k1] twice), So into the first YO you're manufacturing 5 stitches: k1, YO, k1, YO, k1 No problems with that part. then work [yo, k1] twice into front of 2nd yo" Then into the very next over (I presume there are two overs on your left needle?) you're making four stitches: yo, k1, yo, k1, yo Nope, yo, k1, yo, k1 = four stitches, not five with the extra yo you added. There is a *leading* yo onto the second loop of the double of the previous round. That's what's getting gunked up (technical term . It tends to get lost once I do the first k1. And tends to be loopy almost like a picot sometimes. It really becomes noticable on the next round when you knit across the newly made stitches. Not neat and tidy like I'd want. I've frogged it once, and I'm researching other approaches before I commit to another try. In other lace patterns I've seen, the double yos are either knitted into backs and fronts of the double yos or knitted and purled into them. Same here, but this ought to work, at least from a technical standpoint. I can't seem to get this combination to come out looking right or even. The biggest problem is with the leading yo into the second of the double yos. There's no leading YO anywhere that I can see - you start with a knit stitch for the first set of increases into the first over, same for the second set into the second over. See above. There is a yo that starts the series onto the second loop of the double yos. I'm working on a Starmore sweater that has a triple increase directly in to a quadruple increase, one row after the other. I thought it would be 1. impossible and 2. look bad and 3. look REALLY bad, but it disappears into the cablework that commences on round three of the pattern. I did modify her increase METHOD in one instance because it just couldn't be physically done (vertical strand? huh?) otherwise no problem. Modification will work for me if I can't get the original instruction to behave. Nyssa, still catching up on five days' worth of USENET since her news server was down |

Just to cover all possibilities, go to their site and look for corrections
to their patterns for that issue. -- -Cozy http://blogs.delphiforums.com/n/blog...g=cozy_at_home Happiness doesn't come from having things, it comes from *having things you can find* "Nyssa" wrote in message ...

No corrections are listed for the pattern. Nyssa, who got through the round by compromising on the stitch combination between double yos |
