Hap, Hap, Happy New Year Sandy! :) I am pretty much in the same boat for the New Year's Resolutions! I think I had better finish up some older projects before I get my fix on starting new ones. I am a startitis junkie. I am rooting for you with Inishmaan - go girl! I gotta get Niki out from the stalled hallway - poor girl.PS. How come you sent me snow? It's not that I don't appreciate the gesture but I didn't ask for it (like some others... wink, wink) and nobody knows how to drive in it on the west coast. Return and refund, can I get something new?... wool perhaps? LOL!!!Visit me @ Princess Knits

its all a bit advanced for me *sigh* anyway Happy New Year Sandy *hugs*Visit me @ http://karen.blog-city.com

Just remember, more ripping means more knitting, or is that reknitting?

One more thing that might help--for each pattern row you'll always be doing 3,1,3,1, etc. (or 1,3,1,3, with your colors alternating). Keep at it--you WILL get it! xoxoBrooks [brooks7@earthlink.net]

Hey San--the first 7 or so rows look fine! Don't rip all the way down! Once you get a few more rounds done, you'll be able to put the knitting down and tell from looking where you left off. Your tension looks great also--that's my biggest challenge. Just remember: there's never more than 3 sts in a row for any one color (excepting the edge stripe in A). Does this make sense? xoxoBrooks [brooks7@earthlink.net]
