This is the knitting, spinning, design, and sometimes other things blog for the IT worker and knitting designer Brooke. I’m twenty-three, love computer science and writing, and perhaps am a bit crazy as well. I divide my time between knitting and all other activities, and sometimes even combines the two. How risque!
My place of residence is between Des Moines, IA and Gastonia, NC.
You can find me on Ravelry! My designs are here . While I have it set up to follow my blog posts there, they usually lag by about a day since the server can be buggy.
Blog posts are usually linked to twitter shortly after being written. You can follow my account at this handy link. I try not to needlessly tweet about stuff that unrelated to the blog or knitting. I sometimes even do single picture updates of things if they aren’t worth a whole blog post!
Feel free to leave some comments and let me know what you think!
Hi,
I’m knitting your crow print shawl and I have some issues after Row 26. I follow the written instructions (can’t read chart to save my life as yet) and I was wondering if you can help me get past this please.
After 26 rows, there are 83 stitches (6 x13 repeats; 1 middle stitch, 2 end stitches at each end).
I go back to Row 1 of pattern which says: k2, *YO,(K13),YO*, k1, repeat from
* to*, k2.
If I were to follow exactly as above, the stitches wouldn’t add up.
So, does Row 1 now become : k2, YO,k13, YO,k13,YO,k13, YO, (K1 -middle stitch),YO, k13,YO,k13, YO, k13, YO, k2. – on the 27th row?
I think it’s the middle stitch that’s “blocking” my brain from processing the instructions.
Many thanks in advance for helping me.
