Dear Knitting-Pattern...
I don't understand you.
Casting on in the middle of a row? What? I seriously tried, and thank goodness I've gotten good at ripping out lines and not loosing stitches. Headband, I can thank you for that!
Yarn Panda, you are amazing for your knitting all-knowing-power.
I'm rather pleased with how much I did tonight in an hour and a half - especially since I unraveled my first few tries....
Yours truely,
Cid
For visual proof I'm not crazy:
[Edit] Incase someone sees this and knows the pattern. I'm trying to knit the stripy, bow fingerless gloves from the I Love Knitting book by Rachel Henderson. The pattern has me knitting and purling 20 stitches and the bit I'm having problems with is this:
Using B, knit 12, turn, cast on 12 stitches, turn, knit to end of row. (32 stitches)
Casting on in the middle of the row? I can understand - sort of - from the picture how it makes the bow, but I'm not really getting the hang of how to do it, or what exactly 'turn' means - when you're casting on....

About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!

I am no help with knitting. LOL. Do you crochet? I do a little of that. My grandmother tried to teach me to knit for years, but was always unsuccessful. I think it is the two needles vs. one hook thing. Too much coordination required in knitting. I was forever dropping stitches.
I haven't the faintest idea how to crochet. I think I learned the basics when I was really young, but never kept with it. I like knitting though! I'm sure I'll figure out this pattern, but for now it has me frusterated and stumped!!
