I need suggestions please. My DH wants a hooded cape thingy (like Macchicklet is modeling in the archives - I think we were calling them People Cozies and Macchick was kind enough to publish the directions). But he also wants a removable panel to cover the nose and mouth. I think I can design that myself. The problem is - he wants it extra warm (I`m sure I`ll use wool - maybe the buffalo) but he finds wool itchy. He also finds the Quecha itchy. Any ideas of what to line with. I was thinking silk since it`s such a good insulator and silky. Unfortunately Elann doesn`t have any silks right now. But I could start on the outside and finish the inside when I come across the right yarn (oh no then I`d have a WIP which I try to never have!!!!). He doesn`t need it until next hunting season anyhow.
What do you guys think - Corinna

Is it possible that Campmor.com or your local hunting outfitter has thin silk Balaclava linings?

What about a thin fleece lining? It would be soft,warm and quiet.

Grace, This is the same stitch as the Melon Stole in Victorian Lace Today - remember from my blog the orange stole I didn`t finish in time for my friend`s birthday? (http://fromheretoeterknitty.blogspot.com/2007/07/unfinished-business.html)
Take the 4th stitch on the left needle and bring it OVER the first three stitches and OFF the needle. Do the same with the 5th and 6th stitches. This kind of "gathers" the stitches you had knit in previous rows and creates a rounded shape. You then just knit the three stitches which are left after you have passed the far three over. And you really want to bring the stitches over one at a time - it doesn`t give the same effect if you try to cheat and do them all three at a time ... I know, I tried :)

The notes say that the stitch count changes from row to row. Doesn`t the "no stitch" box mean that those stitches have been decreased and are not there to knit? The row instructions are written out too--that looks easier to follow. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in too!

Kelly is right. If you look at the chart as a relief picture of the stitch pattern, you can see how the stitch count changes to form the design. When you come to a no stitch square, go to the next stitch on the chart and work that stitch.
What yarn are you using for the Voyager? I hope you will post a picture when you`ve finished. :)

Jackie,
no stitch is really just a placeholder, something used to keep the chart tidy. That`s all.

Thanks to all of you for giving Jackie the lowdown on "no stitch" squares in a chart. They are indicated so that the chart can be displayed, neatly, as a rectangle or square.
The idea, in short, is to ignore the no-stitch squares and work the next stitch on your needles as the next stitch that appears on the chart after the no-stitch square(s).
