Well, if you read the chart literally and don't place it into the context of the natural sock shaping it might look as if one is to move the clock over. I think the OP has figured it out tho.

Those socks were a b*tch for me to knit, but not because of the pattern. The first yarn I tried to use didn't want to be those socks

- or socks at all for tht matter. The second attempt produced putatively identical socks that weren't size-matched mates. *shrug*

Well if she is sorted that is fine then....I can't quite understand what is wrong with the pattern, so thought I'd ask you.....lol

cheers.....Cher

done....would

I don't think anything is "wrong" with it, merely an alternate interpretation that produced some unexpected results :)

EXACTLY!!! :)

Nyssa, who has the socks back on track now At River's End

LOL.....omg isn't it odd how we do this sometimes...you can achieve some interesting patterns through mis reading an original though...

hugs....Cher

I agree, but can;t understand what the lady is doing to go wrong...lol..to help her put it right...hugs.....Cher

I think she's reading the gusset pattern as an instruction to literally move the clock over on every round, instead of reading it as "oh, I'm decreasing the gusset so the clock is moving naturally". Its that whole literal versus intuitive thing :)

so how do we stop her doing that so that it is all correct and in order?I tried to explain that, but until you actually see where you are going adrift it is hard to change what you initially believe to be right... cheers.......Cher

*grin* I thought I saw that the original poster who had asked about this pattern had figured it out by herself? ;o)
