divide stiches 1/2 on a stitch holder. Other 1/2 work short rows
Short Rows....

Will you be making this available as a printable pdf. I tried copying it to my word processing program but I got a black background with white print.
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns and hope you will make them available for printing.
Thank you
Love, love, love this site! Super helpful!
ReplyDeleteAny chance you could post pics of the short rows? I'm having trouble visualizing it.
I am working on a pair now when I get to that point on my sock I will take pictures
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if you have any patterns for afghans. I just got a knook today and can't wait to start!
ReplyDeleteNo I am sorry I do not have any patterns for afghans. The nice thing though is you can use any knitting pattern for knooking
ReplyDeleteHow do I obtain information about the specific steps to knook. I tried following the directions that came with the Knook kit for three days straight. I never did understand what to do with more than 10 stitches. Then I always had two cord ends and I always pulled the one that dropped everything. I have been knitting/crocheting for 40 years . . .this is the only skill I have tired that I did not learn in a few hours.
ReplyDeleteLeisure Arts has instructional knooking videos posted on youtube that really help!
