July KAL

Hi guys…everyone ready to start a new month and a new KAL? I am sending the first few rows of our KAL. Some things to keep in mind 1) We don’t try to guess what it is we are making, guesses tend to ruin the fun of it for others. I will send out an email each day with the rows along with adding them to my blog at http://designknitting.blogspot.com

If you have any questions, just post them to the group and you will get your answers from all of our knitters.

REVISED Day 2 and Day 3 of the June Mid Month KAL

Ops, I was under the impression I had the corrected copy of this pattern...my own by the way but when checking that was incorrect info on the border ending and where the "Pattern" starts.

I apologize for this folks and lifelines are awesome in this case. Sheila in Indiana brought this to light. It could be worse...I could have waited until Day 5 or something. My apologizes ladies...Anyway, you should do 10 rows of the border as it was an experiment border that required 10 rows...earth to Janet.

1. K1, P1, Across end with K1
2. K1, P1, Across end with K1
3. K1, P1, Across end with K1
4. K1, P1, K1, Purl 31, K1, P1, K1
5. K1, P1, K1, Knit 31, K1, P1, K1
6. K1, P1, K1, Purl 31, K1, P1, K1
7. K1, P1, Across end with K1
8. K1, P1, Across end with K1
9. K1, P1, Across end with K1
10. (WS) K1, P1, K1, Purl 31, K1, P1, K1

Start the first row of the pattern now.

Day 2 has the correct start, we just needed to sneak in another row of the border to start it on the RS.

June Mid Month KAL rows

Rows for Day 2:

A few notes first, don't let them scare you if some of this is foreign to you, there is plenty of help here and on the Internet. There is always more than one way to do something so find what works for you.

P2Tog-b explanation:
P2Tog-b: Purl 2 together through back loop Inserting needle from the left, behind, into the backs of the 2nd and 1st stitches (in that order) , then wrapping yarn in front to complete the purl stitch in the usual way. Some good sites to help with this:
http://www.knittingwisdom.com/classes/shaping-descreases-purl-2-together-through-back-loop.htm
http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/296
OR
Purl 1 stitch, return it to the left-hand needle, then with point of right hand needle pass the next st over it and off needle. Then slip the st back to right hand needle. (not everyone will agree that there is more than one way to do something – do what is comfortable with you)
Yarn Overs when Purling: You have to wrap the yarn around the needle when increasing with Yarn Overs and purling, having the yarn just lay on the needle the usual way when doing a YO on a knit row will not provide you with an extra stitch.

I have given instructions “stitch by stitch” instead of using the usual * to repeat sequence of stitches because several rows may throw you off using the traditional method.

Here are the rows for Day 1:

Any Cotton yarn 1 skein

Cast on 37 stitches

This border pattern is 9 rows, three rows Moss (K1, P1), three rows stockinette and three more rows Moss (K1, P1). You can use whatever border you like, I just wanted something different.

Notes:

Lifelines are recommended with this cloth, I always use them when working with a lace pattern.

I have given instructions “stitch by stitch” instead of using the usual * to repeat sequence of stitches because several rows may throw you off using the traditional method.
