Then transfer the waste yarn stitches from the right to the left needle and keep going as if you hadn`t taken that step.
It is similar to the first step in an "after thought" button hole.

Thanks,

Transfer one stitch from each needle onto a third needle and pass right stitch over left stitch. Continue doing this until the third needle has all the stitches.
Next CO # of stitches that are the width of the palm and knit ribbing for about 1 inch. Connect to your back of hand stitches and continue making the top of the mitten.
It is also possible to make the mitts and pick up the stitches from the back but that is harder to get even.
You can make a short i-cord at the tip of the mitten to use as a button loop to button the flap back when you don`t need it.

Of course Mom said yes! Here`s where I`m looking for help - I can make the mittens no problem, but what would be the best way for me to make and add the flap that would cover the fingers and would this pattern be adaptable for this?

Thank you all in advance for your generous help.

I`ll give it a go and see what happens. If it`s not "correct" I`ll make do. Mistakes are beautiful too, they show a lesson learned (just like wrinkles).

From what you are writing, it sounds like the edges of 60 rows (at least) are in P2, K2. If any one HAS this book, step right in here and bail me out.]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2005 16:21:52 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071
The directions are as follows:
Cont in patt as set at the same time inc one st at each end of the next and every foll 10th row until there are 92 sts., working first 6 inc sts in p2, k2, p2 rib, the next 4 st in cable patt, the rem sts in reverse st st.

Ok. I have no problems with knowing when to increase. My problem is as with the rest of it. Do I encorporate each additional stitch into my rib pattern until there are 6 then start to make a cable pattern? And what am I doing on the other end? I know what reverse st st is but in a cable pattern do I just follow the ribbing etc.? Gosh, who knew knitting could be so confusing. I have such respect for you pros. Thanks again.]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2005 14:25:32 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071 Tue, 19 Apr 2005 13:16:48 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071
I looked up the sweater, it`s gorgeous! http://www.fceasyknitting.com/tech/abb.html has an OK technical section that might help (the Brits have different abbreviations and terms than the Yanks)
also the Yarn Council page at http://www.learntoknit.com/ may be of some help.]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2005 19:26:12 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071
This instruction is part of the sleeve. I`ve several knitting reference books but nothing was making sense to me.
Thanks for your help.]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2005 16:23:19 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071
You could knit in the front and back loop of each of the next two stitches. If you have a decent knitting magazine, there should be a picture somewhere in the technical bits that would show you what to do.

What are you making?

Bets]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2005 16:20:14 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071 The pattern says k2,p2,k2, m1, inc in each of next 2 sts, m1, k2, p2 ....
My questions is what does increase in each of next 2 stitches mean? and what technique would be used?

Thanks my fellow knitter!]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2005 16:06:10 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=140071
Vogue knits says," Draw through a loop as for a slip stitch (under both loops of the edge stitch), bring the yarn over the hook, and pull it through the first loop. *Insert the hook into the next stitch and draw through a second loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. Repeat from the * to the end.

I hope this helps. Take care of yourself while you`re working so hard and be sure to take a knitting break once in a while.:-} BTW, your hair is beautiful but I understand that whole summer thing.

I stayed up late last night and figured out that the YON is just a YO. I worked several rows and it worked out great. Now I can`t wait to try it on the real yarn. It`s a relief to find my trial and error confirmed by you both. Knit on!

Basically, the AbFab is a 17 stitch shale, P2tog 3times, yo, (K1, yo) 5 times, P2tog 3 times was the way it was in my pattern. Or you can simply go to your Barbara Walker for the 18 stitch shale...In my AbFab kit, only one hank came really close to running out (I don`t fringe, tho), so you`ll have to decide which way to go.

I puzzled over this, knitted it several ways and either came out one stitch short or one stitch too many. I finally put it away until after Christmas because of WIPS for gifts. I got out all of my books and tried to figure it out. I`ve made a lot of scallop and feather and fan stitch items and I`ve never had this problem. I wondered if it was a difference in European terms. Please post what you find out. If we can`t get info I am going to make my own sequence.

I went and looked at my knitting books, and well, I`m stumped! How about writing Colinette for clarification? There may be a link from their site....

If my yarn is forward I can`t make a knit stitch.

Why don`t you figure out what one repeat of the pattern is and make a nice big swatch - IN THIS CASE it does not have to be in the terrifically nice yarn - any bulky you have left over would do. It would show you what the pattern is looking like. As long as you like it and are not in a situation where it will keep getting wider and wider and wider with each row, it doesn`t matter if it is exactly the yarnover intended.
After all, it is YOUR blankie!

That probably took forever!!! I found a pattern for an IV wrist cover-picture a mitten with no thumb and no hand section- in the IN KNITTERS charity knitting supplement for 2003. They are at inknitters.com. You`d probably have to modify it, and make an attached "sock toe" type covering, but it might be close to what you want.
