As to the...Thanks everyone for all the kind words! As to the questions - the needles are Knit Picks Options in size 9. The pattern calls for 8's but I usually go up one size. I used the longest cord I have from them - I think it's a 47" one. It's fairly bunched up on the cord but it's long enough. For the mistake in row 5 of the pattern I just sort of tried to figure out the mirror of what I did leading up to the middle stitch but later (after I was several rows further of course) I saw that in the blue version pattern there are instructions so if doing it again I'd probably check that out.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232308105480608440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053557909003975350.post-91778068267876373652007-05-13T10:08:00.000-07:002007-05-13T10:08:00.000-07:00What needle are you using?What needle are you using?Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053557909003975350.post-53070417837753310742007-05-12T20:49:00.000-07:002007-05-12T20:49:00.000-07:00That is going to be so beautiful!

I have 180 stitches cast on, and need to buy a longer circular needles, 32" isn't long enough (I didn't think it would be, but it was the longest I could find locally). So I'm ordering a 47 or 60 incher, if I can find one.<BR/><BR/>So what do you do after the error or left out info on row 5, if I may ask?Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053557909003975350.post-48074802721330278532007-05-12T10:44:00.000-07:002007-05-12T10:44:00.000-07:00I peeked at your blog too--what a visual treat!
