Guess I should introduce myself

My name is Donna, I am retired from the Air Force and live in Ohio. I spent 6 wonderful years in Charleston SC and then on to Iceland for a year.....I loved it there and the Lopi/Alfoss yarns. Then I was lucky enough to finish my career in my home town. I have enjoyed several needlecrafts.....crochet, crosstitch, broomstick lace, needlepoint and knitting. I recently started knitting again....In the past I never advanced past one baby sweater and several scarf's and now I have finished several baby hats using circular needles and doublepoints for the decreasing....I was real happy as I hate to sew seams anyway I just finished a knit from the neck down baby sweater and had some problems as the directions were not correct but was able to go by the picture and figure it out...I really enjoyed this technique so ordered a pattern and yarn [Plymouth Yarn design studio] Baby Raglan Cardigans with hats but am stumped; after you cast on for the neckband you RS Knit a row, next is the WS:

K1, (yo, k2tog) across.

Ok my question is do I continue this across including the K1 or just do it once and the rest are yo, k2tog?

The pattern has a ribbon tie so I assume the yo's are for the ribbon.

Anyway I have enjoyed lurking here the last couple months.

That'll make a row of eyelets if you do it correctly. You need to repeat what's inside the parenthesis for as many times as it takes to get across the work, the last thing you do *should* be a k2tog. The YOs and the k2togs cancel each other out, so to speak, so you should have the same stitch count after this row that you had going into this row.

Make sense?

Yep, you're making a row of eyelets.

You've already got your answer to the question so I'll talk about the other stuff you mentioned. I'm retired Navy, my DH soon will be retired AF (Jan07), and we also were in Iceland and South Carolina (Shaw AFB)..Our oldest DD was born in Iceland in"92...when were you there?

Hi Donna, I am also new to the group and was an Air force wife for 23 years. We spent time in California, Texas, England, Virginia and Arizona. My hobbies sometimes maintained my sanity. I am also an AirForce Mom. My son, Dil and grandchildren are in Japan (Kadina) and are not due back for another year. My grandson is only 2 months old. Thank God for IM as I get to talk to them frequently and due to the Web Cam I get to see the babies. If only they could figure out how to add touch to the system. I live in Las Vegas and am happily married for the second time.

Hi, Donna, and welcome,

Wooly took care of your question, and I'm not affiliated with the military in any way, but I do knit and crochet. This is a great group and I'm glad you've joined us.

Yes I can tell from all the reading I have been doing here. And I will be asking for help as so far most of the patterns I have bought leave stuff out like the current baby sweater I am making....it lists 4 stitch markers but there are no instructions in the pattern as to were they go.

Thanks back!

Wow they are to be commended for their service....and you for all the worrying you must have done while they were away. I never wanted to go to Korea which Is why I picked Iceland for my short tour.

LOL oh god I will give away my age I got to Charleston in 1975 and went to Iceland in 80/81. I loved the Icelanders...we had several girls that worked in my office and they were a never ending source of amusement and wisdom.

23 years? you deserve a medal!

I never got married and am happily single ;-) I used to give crochet classes at the rec center at Charleston, I played slots in the Navy Clubs in Iceland never won much but it was fun.

Thanks! I also love to read Mysteries and Sci Fi and now that I am knitting can't do both at the same time so I started checking out audio books from the Library and that seems to work pretty good.
