Noreen spun a FINE 'yarn':
As an aside, I've revamped the typical OS/F&F, to suit my purpose, by changing the multiples IE: the original pattern is
Row 1. K Row 2. P Row 3. (multiples of 18 (6, actually) + 2 for selvedge) K2tog-3X; YO, K!-6X; K2tog-3X; repeat Row 4. K
Rows 1, 2 and 4 remain the same, and I've used multiples of 4 and even 2, making row 3 be:
K2tog-2x; YO, K1-4X; K2tog-2X; repeat (mult of 4)
or
K2tog; YO, K1-2X, K2tog; repeat (mult of 2)
And I've changed it UP, too!
Multiples of 8:
K2tog-4X; YO, K1-8X; K2tog-4X
I *always* play around with patterns like that! :D Noreen
