I am knitting the Cabled Pocket Shawl, #50486. I have the first half done and starting on the second half. In reading the pattern, it says to join the two halves using a three-needle bindoff. Since it is kind of a ribbing pattern, wouldn't that kind of bindoff flatten the effect of the cables and of the ribbing?
Thanks for any help that you can give.
Nancy

Hi,

The Cabled Pocket Shawl pattern was available from Knit Picks from 09/06 to 01/07. The rights to this pattern have reverted back to the designer. Knit Picks offers technical support on all patterns for 6 months past the date of our last sale. After 6 months all questions must be directed to the designer of the pattern.

I bought the book Getting Started Knitting Socks by Ann Budd. I am trying to knit the socks on page 52. I am stuck at the "heel" instruction. I do not understand how to knit the 18 (for my size) and then turn the work and purl 36. Do I purl the 18 I just knitted? It's the only way I can see to do the purling of 36 stitches. After knitting and turning, the yarn is at the ending of the knitted stitches. Can you clarify this for me so I can proceed? I understand the heel flap and I might use the universal pattern prior to this particular sock, but I can't get that far yet. Thanks.

In the case of Socks a la Carte, the book is not due to be released from the publisher until December 2008. I am very sorry, but the 40% off book sale is only offered on our current titles. It will not be extended to future titles.

I saw a book in the KnitPicks catalog that showed knitted/crocheteded fasteners, buttons, etc. I looked for it this weekend, and cannot seem to find it. I have also seen it refered to in the knitting community. How can I find it. I need this at this time.

There are some major errors in the Little Black Dress pattern from the book Runway Knits.

I just found a major error in the pattern for Little Black Dress. I’m on page 61 on the Next RS Row (Increases in the Middle) part of the pattern. I have 100 stitches. I’m supposed to increase in the middle and add 4 stitches per row 3 times more–that’s 12 stitches. AT THE SAME TIME I’m supposed to increase 2 stitches per row (one on each side) 4 times as well–thats another 8 stitches. 12 and 8 make 20 last time I checked. So that’s, what, 120 stitches? Pattern says I’m only supposed to have 114. What gives? So now I have to frog back to my last middle increase row and rip away as well as another 2 increases on the side. Damn, now I know why I’m supposed to read ahead in the pattern! Hope this saves some of you some heartaches….I think she meant do it 2 times more, not 3.

It gets worse. On page 60, I’m supposed to have 98 stitches for a Medium. Then I increase 4 times in the first middle increase row and it tells me I end up with 100 stitches on page 61. Uh, wouldn’t that be 102 stitches? What am I missing here folks? How do I fix this?
