I have a problem knitting the lab coat sleeve. On page 7 of the instructions, at the top of the page, under the Sleeves section the 3rd sentence says to last 2 sts of round and BO 4 sts. How do I BO 4 sts if there are only 2 sts? Thanks for your help, Karen

Karen, this is worked in the round. You get to the last two sts of the round, bind off those 2 sts and the first 2 sts of the next round. Now you will begin working flat. Hope this helps. ♥c

Thanks Cheryl, I thought that might be it but I wanted to double check. I am using the magic loop so it through me off.

No problem. That happens to all of us at different times.

I'm lost. I need to make Mr. Foster's tail. I knitted the arms & legs but I can't remember how I started them. I know I didn't use the backwards loop cast on or the figure 8. I am using the magic loop knitting method. Help please!!!

Thanks, Karen

Karing -

I used Emily Ocker's cast on. Here is Kelley to show you how to do it.

I need help with shaping Mr. Foster's body. I am using the magic loop method.

I am a fairly new knitter with one sweater to my name (which I am very proud of)! Plus 3 pair of socks.

I am having trouble understanding the wrap and turn part. I figured out the wrap and turn but am really confused once I get to "continue in this manner wrappimg every second stitch".

Maybe I am doing it wrong fromt the beginning . . .

HELP!

Hi Jessireb - Cherylbwaters is a great person to go to for help in this area. Unfortunatley she is really busy right now with work. But here is a video she posted on another one of these discussions when I was having problems with the wrap and turns as well. I hope this will help you.
