BYC KNITTING CLUB

I do not do well with mysteries!!!!

I do believe it would be easier to read that way. For instance:

Row 39: (K1, P1) 3 times, K2, P2, K9, (P2, K2) 2 times , P3, (K2, P2) 2 times, K2, P5, (K1,P1) 2 times , K1

Since there are several rows that break the ribbing border pattern I do not know if I would mess with ** though. You could try it. Something about keep first 5 and last 5 stitches of rows in rib border. Except of course for the rows you did not.........It would not start until row 6 I believe, and excluse rows 46 and 50. Also, is the BO in knit or purl or in pattern?

You are doing great!

Ok... maybe this is easier to read???

You all are probably a better judge on size, but because it's 50 stitches, I was thinking a size 6 needle ????

Looking better! Looks much less intimidating to beginners when the line is shorter!!!

You could still tighten it up if you want in some of the rows by using a repeat such as (P2, K2) twice but it is fine the way it is in my humble opinion.
Such as:

I may have missed some...........


I would say size 6 or 7 needles depending what type of yarn you were using.

 

[Guitartists]

Thanks Cathy

I was in a hurry earlier... and didn't have time to do the other

Ooooo... I hope someone knits this up

I think you will all enjoy it very much

 

[CathyB]

I will have to look through my stash and see if I have any other balls of a solid color cotton hanging around. I think I only have multicolor and that will not show off you pattern, whatever it is!

 

[antiquebuff]

All this talk about knitting and on the chicken forum made me decide to pull out my chicken dishcloth pattern and kit one! Sorry this was the only color of yarn I had on hand and it didn't]'t show up very good!

 

[herbandteas]

I see it really good.......thanks for posting your picture. When I get done with my presents I am knitting for my friend I will do the chicken next.

 

[Cassandra]

I made the goddess. She didn't turn out as well as guitarists, but this is the first pattern of anything I have made. I got all botched around a lot! See how the top half stitches go up and down and the bottom half go side to side? How did I do that?!

And sometimes, I would have an extra couple of stitches on the end of a row.......

It was really weird! When that happened, I would just gather up the extra stitches into the last stitch to make the next row have 40 again. Anyhow, here she is. Hope my next one is better! But I love her anyway. I think she's great.

[Queen Scoot]

its good...looks like you might need to work on your tension...

 

[Cassandra]

That's true. My stitches are very sloppy.
