I've just CO the princess petal skirtie and i'm completely lost Think i'm going to have to frog it back to the end of the ribbing and start again I'm not even sure what it is i've done wrong, it just doesn't look like the pictures i've seen at all I might just frog it all actually and then get MIL to do it when she gets back off holiday, and try something simpler instead

Or you could ask me to help you

Thanks hon. I think i might be beyond help

Its the foundation round and the short rows i'm confused on. I thought i'd done the foundation right and started on the short rows, but then when i did the bit after the second turn the number of stitches didn't seem to add up and it took me more than a round to complete the set iygwim

I am currently knitting this too didn't have any points where it didn't look right and was quite impressed with how I tackled the short rows - but I did get confused on the gusset increase bit, am doing the XL size and am sure the math on it isn't quite right worked it out though as had to knit 5 after the second stitch marker to reach my p2 again each time rather than 4

Anyway - I am just doing the second leg now and it looks right to me

The Juliette is finished well sort of, just need to finish the icord and thread it in. I think i might do a teeny one with the mosiac moon scrappy set i have but i really have enough teeny things....

I haven't had my coffee yet, so my brain is a bit dead, but the short row is worked over 2 rounds does that help?

This is worrying, I didn't knit the X-L size, test knitters did. If that size is wrong though then the others should also be. I have two arms of a cardigan to knit then I will knit up the X-L myself to check what has happened.

Ah, don't worry about it too much it is probably just me being inept and confusing things - I am assuming that it should continue the same k9p2 pattern around with the build up of 8stitches front and back via m1 between markers? and therefore I had to knit 4 pm do relevant m1 and k's to next marker, then there were 5 k stitches left before the p2 was reached this was the case on ever gusset round <which also although not written is self explanatory to knit the k stitches and p the previos p ones? > Anyway whether what I did was right or not, the gusset has gone in beautifully and the legs are both identical with k9p2 x 3 then k13p2 as per the pattern so that is why I thought I would mention it!

I just kind of figured the stitches between the pm's were independant to the ongoing pattern and therefore there needed to be 6,7,8,9k stitches in total per section when the pattern reads : K2,2,3,4...........k2,3,3,4 before the p2 - so therefore totalling k4,5,6,8

Like I say - I have most likely just got it totally wrong - so don't I would think it is more likely you need to just explain to me what I should have actually done/ where I have misread the pattern...... rather than there actually being a problem with the pattern itself!!!!

It is a beautiful pattern and a lovely knit anyway, so well done

So the next question is where are the progress piccies?

So the next question is where are the progress piccies?

later! Am knitting for a friend as part of an ongoing skills swap so think I should let her see first

Naomi is too near potty training to make her a pair, so am going to wait until she is out of nappies and measure her up to make a smaller non nappy wearer pair

Well i frogged it back and tried again, knit the 2 rounds for the short rows and still ended up a stich short I think it must be something to do with the p2togs, but i'm picking up the stitch where it says so can't really understand where i'm going wrong

I'm sure its me and not the pattern though, its probably something insanely simple that would make me go if it were pointed out to me
