Knitting Community

Some of us in the Knitting Community have joined the "Flight Path" mystery Knitalong organized by Mary Scott Huff. If you're on Ravelry, you can find the Ravelry group here. I'm using Wool of the Andes Sport Weight in "Wonderland Heather," "Baltic Heather," "Saffron," "Fairytale" and "Avocado." We don't know at this point what the project will be, but it's an accessory for a woman. Here's my swatch:

Swatching instructions say to knit a swatch using the larger needles (I got gauge with size 4) working in the rnd or back and forth using two colors, any stranded pattern we wanted, since we don't have the chart yet. We're to aim for 6 1/2 sts/in. Sport weight or DK would be most suitable.

We will get one part of the pattern each week. Today (If you're reading this on Monday, January 30th) we get the first "clue." It will be fun to see what the project turns into. It isn't too late to join us if you want. It isn't a race. Just a fun thing to do together. All you need is the pattern (see link above) and 5 skeins of sport-weight yarn, each a different color. Just get your pattern and yarn and join us! We get the last clue February 27, 2012. You can buy the pattern later, but it will cost more, and you need to finish with the group to qualify for the drawings. (Yes, there are prizes!)

I figured that they have offered a terrific service for free so I didn't mind being able to post pictures anywhere at any time for such a low fee.

I enlarged the chart and printed it. I have it as a doc, if anyone wants it. Just send me a PM with your email address, and I'll send it to you.

Thanks anyway, I just scanned mine and enlarged it a  bit... I can see it fine. 

I enlarge mine on my screen so I have just one repeat on the screen. And just read it off my monitor. Check to see if you have comment capabilities on your PDF reader. If you do, you can add a line so you can keep your place with the rounds.

I think I can do that with Goodreader, but I'm always using my iPad for audiobooks or music, so it's a little inconvenient to have to switch back and forth if I need to stop the audio while I have it on
Goodreader, and I haven't figured out how to move the line in Goodreader anyway.

I'm going to guess you just have to click on the line and then use your up and down arrow keys.

I'll have to try that.

Peggy I would love a copy of the pattern I'm having a hard time when I enlarged it. 

 

I sent you a pm with my email address. If you email me, I can send you the chart.

I finished my Clue #3, but hate that I can't do duplicate stitch any better than this. Sigh.

That turned out nice I'm working on mine now.

It looks great! I think your duplicate st looks fine! I'm not even halfway yet? Busy time for me.
