One more for the Mothula

Here is a picture from the first Madison Knitters' Guild meeting in September where I showed off the completed Wing of the Moth(ula) Shawl. You can really see the size on this one!! I recieved lots of OOO's and AAA's and lots of people had more questions after the meeting as I wrapped myself in it.

Until next time...

Wing of the Moth Shawl-FINISHED!!! Another FO!

Me so Happy!! After six months of knitting on it- on and off- the beast is now finished and being blocked! My LYS is the best! The are just down the street from me and they let me use thier blocking equipment! This is made from 100% hand spun, hand dyed, alpaca and silk by me. EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

And now....to start on the Forest Canopy shawl in that loverly green italian yarn I found at Goodwills. I started it but my guage is off on the stated needle size so I need to go down a size. So that is good news because now I do not need to buy more needle tips! I don;t have size eight in the knitpicks options but I do have sevens.

Until next time...

My Moth has hit a bump in the knitting road.

ACK-ACK-ACK! Moving right along...until *screeeeeeaaaaaaach!

If anyone has done this pattern and can help me...here is my problem on the reversed stockinette stitch between the pine cone and twin leaf patterns. Row 4.

What I have knitted: one stitch, a marker, a YO and 3 stitches before the new marker on one end (for a total of 4 sts), and on the opposite end, I have one stitch, a marker, TWO stitches, and the newly placed marker. Did I miss something? Should there be such a variance on the two ends?

Here is the line I followed:

"K1, *SM, YO, P4, PM, purl to one st before the next marker (which would be the one before the middle stitch) , PM, P1, YO, SM, * K1 (center st), REPEAT FROM * TO *, END K1"

The note says "stitches between new markers will be worked in the Twin Leaf pattern....stitches outside those markers will be worked in stockinette, with 3 sts on each long side in reverse stockinette to balance the lace pattern.

I have four sts on one long side end, and two on the other! ACK-ACK-ACK. I've emailed the maker of the pattern and the Wing of the Moth shawl...but...I am impatient to keep knitting! I am half done and I cannot wait till it is finished and I can show it off!

I am majorly confuzzled...

Until next time...
