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 http://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.
Materials: 1 skein cotton yarn, recommend Red, Green, Blue
or any solid color, Pastel variegated can be used it will still look great but
if is the first time you have knitted an intermediate Lacy pattern, I recommend
a solid color.
#6 US Needle
This is a lace cloth
Notes:
K1b = Knit 1 in back of stitch
Skp = Slip 1 (kw), Knit 1, Pass slip stitch
over
P2Tog b = P2 stitches together in Back of
stitch (Go to www.knittinghelp.com to watch a video on
how to complete that. It is better to watch than to explain). If
you can’t get to this site for whatever reason always use the “stand by” method
of “googling”.
YO = Yarn Over
** If you are a tight knitter, you might want to loosen the grip a bit when doing P2Tog b ** (I am a “tight” knitter and had problems accomplishing the P2Tog b until I eased up a bit when I first learned.)
Note: * Don’t forget to do the “YO”
after each repeat before going to next stitch

The color Red, Green, Blue,
Lavender or any solid color you really like will work. OK, it is a lace
design…I know we just finished a lace cloth and it was kind of a beginner
lace. This one is an intermediate level lace. I will make it easy
for everyone by listing the number of stitches that should be on the needle at
the end of the row. I STRONGLY recommend using a Lifeline on this one
only because of the stitch count. The count does change depending on
which row you are working so if you use a Lifeline and count the stitches at
the end of the row you will do fine.
It may include two stitches you
haven’t done yet, if you are new at knitting. One is called “Purl 2
together through the back” AND “Knit 1 through the back”. These can be
found on www.knittinghelp,com
and you can probably find them on U-tube and for the Purl 2 together through
the back stitch…it is better if you see someone actually doing it. Explaining
this particular stitch is too confusing, pictures or video will work. I
think I had this in my last calendar but not positive about that.

This is an elegant and beautiful
pattern and you will love it!
If you have any questions, feel
free to ask. This gives you a few days to check out these stitches.
Cast on 42 stitches (you can enlarge or reduce this pattern. It is a count of “Multiple of 8+2 and the border stitches”. It works out to 8X4 =32 + 2 = 34 + 8 Border = 42 (I don’t recommend doing a towel with this design because it is so lacy, but you could increase or reduce to number of border stitches.)
