I am moving along now with the seed stitching on the sweater edges and the purl rows and then the knit rows. The bottom edge rows are the seed stitch that ties in with the front borders. It is looking okay and working out fine. All that will be left are the sleeves and sewing on some buttons.Susannehttp://forget-me-not-susanne.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-69950404163671670522011-09-08T20:23:50.305-04:002011-09-08T20:23:50.305-04:00Got your message. At the beginning of the pattern ...Got your message. At the beginning of the pattern it does tell you to pm for placing a marker a few stitches into the row and again before you finish off the row. For the life of me those markers were not doing much because they were in the way more than anything and I was slipping them even though the pattern never mentioned to do that. I am actually going into the body of the little doll sweater and the sleeve stitches are on stitch holders and worked later. I did find another error several rows into the pattern and corrected it on my paper. It would not surprise me one bit if there were other errors, so you might be right about the m should be m1 throughout that row. I will try it and see. Thanks for helping me. It is the first time I have done a leaf pattern and it actually looks like the picture and leaves. Just shows ya what you can do when you set your mind to it, lol. I will post a pic on my blog in the next couple of days. Thanks again.Susannehttp://forget-me-not-susanne.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-50967575711194593082011-09-08T15:50:18.923-04:002011-09-08T15:50:18.923-04:00Those novelty yarns are fast and so much fun to wo...Those novelty yarns are fast and so much fun to work with. I have seen the pom pom yarn and it is so nice and soft. Your scarf turned out cute. I recently posted on some I made into a scarf. Fast small projects are just the right ticket to relieve the boredom from bigger works, i.e. that yummy chocolate blanket for your son. It is so true that you can't make for one child and not the other. The last thing a mom wants to be accused of is "playing favorites", lol......now, I have a small knitted project on the needle that is suppose to be a quick diversion from my crocheted AF blanket. Alas, I have the leaf yoke all done but have run into a snag, ready to pull my hair out type of snag. I have checked all my resources and don't feel like contacting the creator of the actual pattern, so who better to ask that someone who is more proficient in knitting.....YOU.....here goes the row of instructions, and are you able to help me figure it out? <br /><br />k1,p1,k1,p1,k4,m,k1,m,k10,m1,k1,m1,k9,m1,k1,m1,k10,m1,k1,m1,k4,p2tog,yo,p1,k1 (57 sts)<br /><br />I suppose I did not have to write out the entire row, but maybe I needed to to give you a better idea on what I'm dealing with. Now here is where I am stumped the abbreviations chart does not include the m , I see some places it means meter.....but what kind of stitch is that? This row includes m and m1 From what I gather meter can also mean to increase? (did I read that right?) so why would it have m, which I would think would mean increase, and some places it says m1 which I would still think only meant 1 increase. I am truly stumped and hoping that you can help me out, of maybe you know someone who could. Thank you for any help :) My last resort would be to contact the person who wrote the pattern, but I don't feel like waiting for how long ? for a reply.Susannehttp://forget-me-not-susanne.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-52501944775827665132011-09-06T17:13:01.777-04:002011-09-06T17:13:01.777-04:00Well bless your Mama Heart!

But seems like your son's blanket might use more ;-) I like that yarn a lot. I bought a brown skein too, to add to a garter shawl I'm working on. i really like the built-in texture to the yarn.<br />Have a happy day off!<br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-26340411524724296842011-09-05T11:00:10.604-04:002011-09-05T11:00:10.604-04:00My mammoth throw is sucking up a lot of yarn - Yik...My mammoth throw is sucking up a lot of yarn - Yikes.
