I think I will try making an extra row, with reversing the instructions for row 1 and then start row 1 as written. (this pattern can be so confusing at times) Thank you.

First section done. I loved the complexity of the cable patterns...I did them without a cable needle. What a great sense of accomplishement. I am loving this KAL! It is so helpful to get everyones tips and tricks. I am hoping someone will post a video for the flowers...i am nervous about not getting how to do them correctly. I guess I will do with a swatch as I am using cashmere blend yarn so my throw will be extra soft when it is done and given the cost I don't want to mess up with the "good" yarn. :) Thanks to all for your support along the way!

I have made a few mistakes like making the wrong cross, but it isn't too noticable. I ripped out several rows last weekend because I think I got jumbled on the rows and it was a real mess. I'm almost finished with the second set of trees. I loved the flower garden section and am looking forward to doing it again. It should go pretty quickly. <em>Zontee says: Good luck!

I am a bit confused about the loop part of the flower section. I have done one but am not sure it is correct. There should be loops on the wrong side of the fabric as well...correct? I am a visual learner and have been having a few issues putting the directions into pictures in my mind...ugh Please help. Thanks!!!! <em>Zontee says: Hi Alie, Corinna will be posting step-by-step pictures of the process on Wednesday, so look out for those. Hope that helps!</em> HELP!!!

I just did one extra row of knitting the knits and purling the purls. This gives me an extra row before starting the pattern for row 16. Is this right? Thanks for your help.

I grabbed the working yarn, then took the loop up and onto the needles. Just keep it from twisting. Sandrie: I think you are missing the four stitches between the twin tree pattern *K4, work Row 1 of Twin Trees pattern or follow Chart Row 1 for 40 sts; K4, Repeat row 1 of Twin Trees pattern (40), K4,repeat row 1 of Twin Trees pattern (40), K4, repeat row 1 of Twin Trees pattern (40), end with K4. 4+40+4+40+4+40+4+40+4 Four tree patterns = 160 Five dividing stitches of four, three between and one at each end = 20 so 160 + 20 + 180 I put markers on mine after the four and each pattern repeat to keep my head straight on the pattern.

*K4, work Row 1 of Twin Trees pattern or follow Chart Row 1 for 40 sts; K4, Repeat row 1 of Twin Trees pattern (40), K4,repeat row 1 of Twin Trees pattern (40), K4, repeat row 1 of Twin Trees pattern (40), end with K4.

4+40+4+40+4+40+4+40+4

Four tree patterns = 160
Five dividing stitches of four, three between and one at each end = 20

so 160 + 20 + 180

I put markers on mine after the four and each pattern repeat to keep my head straight on the pattern.
