April 16 KAL Day 2 and finish

The above photo shows what your cloth should look like after you have completed day 1 of the KAL.

This is what your cloth should look like after day 2 rows have been completed of the KAL.

Here are the rows for day 2 AND the rest of the KAL.  The reason we did it that way this time because of the type of cloth it is.  It is 7 repeats of one section which forms a complete circle.

April 16 KAL - Day 1

Hi all:

Everyday rows will be sent via an email, I will be "Replying" to the first email so all of the rows will be on one email at the end of the KAL.

PLEASE NOTE:  Use our KAL Blog if you don't see the rows. Every KAL I receive emails saying "can I get the rows for today?" If you see a response from me it may just say "Use The Blog" to remind you.  If you are a "Special Notice" member, you will need to get your rows for day 2 through final from our blog or checking our site for the "updated" emails. Yahoo doesn't provide for "reply" messages to be sent to the Special Notice members.

If you need help, check www.knittinghelp.com for any assistance or write an email to the group for help.

For day 1 and day 2 of rows, I will  post photos.

                
Using Lifelines will help with any project. If you aren't sure what
that is, there is plenty of info on the Internet about it but it is
basically where you put thread or thin yarn through a row already
worked, designating that all the rows to that point are error free.
You should document what row you put the lifeline in so you have a point of reference. If you make any error after that point, you know you are OK with the previous rows anyway.

 

This is a lace Cloth:

 

Materials:       cotton yarn  (solid or pastel variegated)

size 7 US = 4.5 mm needles

Cast on 18 stitches  (leaving a 12inch tail)

YO:     Yarn Over

K2Tog:   Knit 2 Together

See Blog for Short Row Information.

Short Row Explanation

I will try to explain this procedure to everyone, keeping in mind that some procedures are easier if you are watching someone do them.  We will be doing a KAL that is worked in short rows with straight needles.

This is an example and doesn't really start the KAL until you see the APRIL 16TH KAL-DAY 1.

Say the directions call for casting on 18 stitches,  Go ahead and cast on.  Generally the first row is a knit row.  Go ahead and knit a row all the way across.

Now, Knit 15 stitches across as the above photo shows.  Now your remaining stitches are on the left side needle, unworked.

 

Turn both needles.  When finished, it should look like the above.  Now the 15 stitches show on the left needle, not the right and you will start working with the 15 stitches again.

 

Make sure you take the yarn and put it behind the work.  When you first "TURN" the yarn will be in the front so make sure before you knit any stitches that the yarn is behind the work.

Now you are ready to work the second pattern row, most of the time it will give you instructions to knit so many and then SSK, K2Tog or YO.  This is the end where the lace is worked.  You need to be careful going forward that all the lace stitches are done at the same end.  If you like, you can mark this end to remind you that lace stitches should be worked.  If you miss count the rows, you may be doing the lace at the row end so just make sure you are counting rows.

This isn't hard to do, just different so don't pass this one up.  The whole idea of these KAL are to further your knitting skills so lets give it a try.

You will see the rows later this evening.  This will give you a little time to try using this procedure.
