Help with pattern from Knitter's Spring 1998

On 26 Aug 2006 10:54:50 EDT, Nyssa spewed forth :

So into the first YO you're manufacturing 5 stitches:

k1, YO, k1, YO, k1

then work

Then into the very next over (I presume there are two overs on your left needle?) you're making four stitches:

yo, k1, yo, k1, yo

Same here, but this ought to work, at least from a technical standpoint.

There's no leading YO anywhere that I can see - you start with a knit stitch for the first set of increases into the first over, same for the second set into the second over.

I'm working on a Starmore sweater that has a triple increase directly in to a quadruple increase, one row after the other. I thought it would be 1. impossible and 2. look bad and 3. look REALLY bad, but it disappears into the cablework that commences on round three of the pattern. I did modify her increase METHOD in one instance because it just couldn't be physically done (vertical strand? huh?) otherwise no problem.

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

Have you checked the Knitter's site for corrections?

No problems with that part.

Nope, yo, k1, yo, k1 = four stitches, not five with the extra yo you added. There is a *leading* yo onto the second loop of the double of the previous round. That's what's getting gunked up (technical term :). It tends to get lost once I do the first k1. And tends to be loopy almost like a picot sometimes.

It really becomes noticable on the next round when you knit across the newly made stitches. Not neat and tidy like I'd want.

I've frogged it once, and I'm researching other approaches before I commit to another try.

See above. There is a yo that starts the series onto the second loop of the double yos.

Modification will work for me if I can't get the original instruction to behave.

I don't have the magazine or pattern, but I think DA's suggestion of going to knittinguniverse is a good one! Noreen

back into the darkness.... me/has a migraine.

Just to cover all possibilities, go to their site and look for corrections to their patterns for that issue.

Yep, I did that early on to double check stitch counts.

No corrections are listed for the pattern.
