So the gloves I'm knitting stumped my Knitting Maven. I'm wondering if the knitters here can help. The problem is with the thumb the directions go:
"At the beginning of the next round M1 (make 1 - insert left needle tip under bar of connecting stitches; knit in back of this bar),then continue in stockinette stitch to marker. Turn. Purl back to marker. Turn. Continue knitting flat until 10 rows have been completed and ready to work knit side.
Top:
Knit 1 row, placing a k2tog at the end of the row and join in the round again. Knit one more row."
So the problem is with the knit flat directions. Is the pattern trying to say to knit back and forth on each DPN for 10 rows, then Knit 1 row across each dpn and and then join the round again?
askye, it sounds like you would be working back and forth instead of in a circle so that you'd have a single slit for thumb opening. You'd end on a purl row. then do a knit row with an increase, and then rejoin and knit a
round
to make a tube again.
Does that help, or did I just confuse things even more?
I'd work back and forth on each individual DPN ? Or across all of them. Does that make sense?
Across all of them. You're going all the way around the hand, at the level of the thumb.
Okay that makes sense. It was just hard to figure out from the way it was worded - plus there was an Enterlac class going on so the shop was kind of busy. Thanks for the help.
Sean, I am so sorry. Much love to you and your family.
My sympathies for your loss, Sean
So sorry for your family, Sean, and strength to your friend.
