The yarn does have a sheen to it and is silky smooth. The photo really doesn't do it justice. |
Is there 9 sts missing from the end of rows 9 and 13? All the other rows add up to 43 sts (without the repeats) and these two only add up to 34...9 sts less than the others. ~Tricia |

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My mother-in-law passed away recently. You are right about the number of stitches and yet I knit a blanket after writing up this pattern and had no problem with it. I will be looking into this. Thank you. |
I'm very sorry about your mother in law. was there a correction for row 9 and 13 as requested in May? Thank you |
|
I started knitting the blamket again and can find nothing wrong with rows 9 or 13. |
I am on Row 9 and was figuring out where to get the last sl1, k1, psso; the stiches ended up only till k9 which will balance the beginning of Row 9. Tricia is right. Please advise - thanks...Rose |
yes I am having the same problem as Rose, I would like to no what everyone else did I do not to quit making this blanket....Gayle |
I am a nut for symmetry and had the same problem as a lot of you. I got out some draft paper and laid out the whole pattern. To make rows 9 and 13 come out I discovered that you only repeat the pattern 8 times instead of 9. At the end I did a yo, k9, yo, s1, k1, psso, k9 for the last 9 stitches. It came out perfect! I was surprised it worked as I'm not a very seasoned knitter and had never done anything like this before. Good luck! |
|
Thank you so much. Obviously I need to find someone to proof knit my patterns for me. |
so is the top border much smaller than the bottom? the bottom border is a set of 4 rows, 14 times (56 rows) but the top should only be 4? the photo looks like the top and bottom borders are equal so i'm confused |
|
The top border has the same number of rows as the bottom border. |
thank you! |
is there an error on line 11? As written it comes out to 151 stitches instead of 139 stitches. |
|
Row 11 has now been corrected. |
Very, very nice. It looks....darn I hate it when I can't come up with the words I want to use...does "smooth" work as the word? I don't know if you can understand what I'm trying to say...maybe I should have just stuck with "very, very nice."
