I’m up to the neck trim. The instructions say to pick up 36 sts along right back edge, then 62 sts along right sleeve. Isn’t the right sleeve the right back edge one you tell us to pick up first. Confused, please help.

Zontee says: Hi Doris, see the photos above — Stefanie is telling you to pick up stitches along the right-bottom diagonal of the back of the piece (”southwest” of the sleeve), then, folding your sleeve over (and optionally seaming the sleeve up) and pick up stitches (the 62 sts) along the sleeve opening heading back towards the neckline. Hope that helps.

Also, since this KAL is no longer active, you can e-mail us at support@lionbrand.com if you need further help with this or any other pattern.

Is it o.k. to put the stitches on stitch holders instead of scrap yarn. I’ve never used scrap yarn before and don’t know how to do it. Thanks in advance for your answer. Joan Yanez

I picked up stitches for neck trim. I’m confused. What does “Join for working in the md” mean?

Zontee says: Hi Marion, join for working in the round, simply means instead of turning your work, continue working in the same direction around and around. Don’t forget to “pm” (place a marker) first though, or you’ll have trouble finding the beginning/end of each round!

Once I get all my stitches picked up (again, as I broke a needle and everything fell off - or at least so much it was just easier to start fresh!), my question is do I do my ribbing in the opposite direction of the way I pick up my stitchs (knitting from back right to back left to left sleeve to neck to right sleeve)?

Finally bought yarn and started knitting. Almost to the point of seeing if the back and sleeves fit. I’m thinking, based on the back widths listed in the directions, that I’ll have to add a few rows at this point to make the back (and, therefore, the sleeves)a bit bigger as Stefanie showed in the section on solving fit problems. So I’ll probabaly end up between the small and medium sizes.

Which directions do I then follow for finishing the back with the decreases and picking up the neckline trim? Do I just figure out something in-between the small and medium directions?

Thanks!

I have a question about picking up the stitches along the bottom right: I’m working a medium, and I can pickup 36 across, but then there seems to be a small space between the end of the picked up stitches and where the sleeve would seam (it looks like I can pick up 3 extra stitches here). Has anyone else had this? What did you do?

TIA!

The adresses that you are using for the entries have probably changed due to archiving. The previous posts are archived in their appropriate months and you are only seeing June now unless you look at another month. You can most easily access all the posts from the Knit-Along category on the right side of the blog.

Ok I just got started as had to order one of the needles as no one in town had them in stock. I’m starting the row of the textured stripe and the blog pages for that I’m getting an error for every page except the June 4th and and June 11th.
