I'm knitting the lace doily on page 72 of the magazine.
I'm almost done, so of course, I finally hit a problem.
The Round 87 calls for a very strange combination to be knit into a double yo from the previous round.
It's not coming out right!!
from the round's instructions:
"into front of first yo, work (k1, [yo, k1] twice), then work [yo, k1] twice into front of 2nd yo"
In other lace patterns I've seen, the double yos are either knitted into backs and fronts of the double yos or knitted and purled into them.
I can't seem to get this combination to come out looking right or even. The biggest problem is with the leading yo into the second of the double yos.
Any suggestions? Anyone already work this pattern? If so, how did you handle this?
If no one has any other ideas, I may just punt and do the back-and-front knits to increase into the double yo. As long as I'm consistant, I'm wondering if it would make any practical difference as long as I end up with an extra 9 stitches for each double yo.
Nyssa, who is also running close on thread for the project, but that's another issue
