I’m just catching up and I’m on the first increase row. When I finish the 13 increases I’m not at the next marker. Something is wrong and I can’t figure it out. It’s very frustrating. Please help.

I’m stuck on the INC RND 1

I wrk to 1st marker(rt bak edg); then increase on the sleeve rib; then wrk to nxt mark (back edge); [then increse on sleeve rib; then wrk to nxt mark(lft bak edge)]this is the rep from * once.

I still hve the 40 stiches for the lower back to work before I complete this rnd. Do I complete these in rib and then begin NEXT RND?

This is a great pattern and I love all the others in your book.

Zontee says: Hi Isabel, since the knit-along is officially over, you may want to e-mail support@lionbrand.com for technical help with the project, but here are some possible problems you might be having: (a) make sure you’re repeating the [k1, p1, RLI, p1] the right amount of times for the size you’re making; (b) make sure you’re doing the RLI correctly, as described in the previous KAL post.

I am falling a little behind because the picking up stitches wasn’t easy for me and now the ribbing is taking forever! Hope I can catch up over the next few days, seeing the shrug take shape just makes me so happy.

Kelli – Thanks for the response! I was waiting for a reply before knitting on. That was my gut feeling and I’m glad to know I kinda know what I’m doing. This is my first top down and knitting in the round project so I wasn’t quite sure. I appreciate the help!!!

Jane (#36) – I had a similar concern, because I’m not very tall and am making the L size. It looked like it would come down to my hips at least!

My recommendation, even if it’s kind of a pain, is to put all the stitches on a huge piece of scrap yarn and try it on. That’s the beauty of these top-down sweaters, you can try them on as you go! I did this, and found that it was going to be a bit long for my taste, so I shortened the ribbing section before the first increase by 10 rows. I figure I might have to try it on again before I finish the next ribbing section (before the seed stitch section) just to make sure it’s going to be a good length.

Good luck!

I finished ! I thought I posted pictures in the Customer Gallery but when I checked today they weren’t there. I’ll try again.
