celticdragonflyWoo!
I'm working on the skirt of a dress for the baby. It started out as this pattern, but (unsurprisingly to anyone who knows me) I've been changing it radically. Honestly, this person thinks like a seamstress, not a knitter. Too much seaming. So I did the waistband all in one piece, provisional cast on and then kitchenered it at the end, and then picked up from the bottom and am doing the skirt in the round. I'll work the bodice up from it, then make the sleeves and add them in. The bit at the bottom about bind off, then make this cabled i-cord to approximately the circumference at the bottom and sew it on? Nonsense, I'll do attached i-cord.
Anyway, I was just starting the top of the 5th heart, and got to the end of the row, and had a problem in one of the cably twisted stitches part. I should have had 10 knit stitches in a row between the purl stitches to do the next bit with - I had 9. And I couldn't find a dropped stitch ANYWHERE.
Finally guessed that I must have messed up a TW2R - that starts like a k2tog, then you do another stitch through the first one - and if I'd done only half of it, that would have caused a reduction. I thought I was going to have to tink back 2 rows to fix that. Which would be 520 stitches. AGH.
No! I managed to figure out where the offending TW2R would have been two rows down, trace it up to the one remaining stitch, drop it down two rows to the k2tog, redo that as a TW2R, and then squeeze that up into the next row of K2. FIXED.
