It says "Use Kitchener stitch to graft first 3 sts and last 3 stitches together". For the life of me I can't figure out where the "first 3 sts" are. Can you explain it any other way? Meanwhile, mine are sitting quietly on a safety pin! <br /><br />#2 - in the lace pattern, Row 1, that weird symbol is explained "knit 2 together, but do not drop from needle (i get that part), knit second stitch again, then drop both from needle." What "second stitch"? I just knit 2 together and I only have one stitch, not 2. So, I knit into the front and into the back of the 2 stitches together.<br /><br />I LOVE this pattern - it is so very very beautiful that I will continue regardless of my misunderstandings. (yikes - that could get weird!)cabinarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532794006239536858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763537754842863616.post-15163365421693370462012-07-16T21:46:38.008-07:002012-07-16T21:46:38.008-07:00Thanks, Sandi!

I have some Berocco Cotton Twist in a wonderful sort of mulberry color that I think will be PERFECT for Kenwood.<br /><br />But, I just went to the site to order and discovered it costs $6.15 to mail the pattern to me! Really?? Isn't it just paper? Can't it be downloaded? wahhhhhh!cabinarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532794006239536858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763537754842863616.post-9709950000218682842012-07-16T06:59:45.441-07:002012-07-16T06:59:45.441-07:00Hi there -

There are no side seams, but the sleeves are knit flat, so there are sleeve seams, shoulder seams and armhole seams. I hope you enjoy it.<br />And thanks for your kind words about Crane Creek. I love that design, too.sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101171238586395335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763537754842863616.post-51247556788297184222012-07-15T22:05:20.506-07:002012-07-15T22:05:20.506-07:00Hi Sandi,

If the answer is yes, I will buy it.<br /><br />Currently I am almost finished with the body of Crane Creek. At the armhole split, ending with a RS row caused me to begin with the Right Front instead of the left. I probably did something dyslexic, but am figuring it out anyway. Wonderful pattern, and this may be my Most Perfect Sweater yet!cabinarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532794006239536858noreply@blogger.com
