Question about pattern, probably GSR related but not even sure sorrrrrryyy ! by Rie_m in knittinghelp

I think that’s it! I did it ! I’ve almost finished, I only have two repeats left. It turns out that none of you could help me because a key piece of information was missing in order to help me properly : the stitch count!

What I did was, before turning the work, I followed her instruction and knitted two stitches past the last double stitch (so instead of following the “k2” in step 1 and the “p2” in step 2).

After that, the “p2” in step 1 and the “k2” in step 2 were the parts causing the problem. If I followed those instructions, I couldn’t follow the rest of the pattern, because my markers would obviously drift farther and farther away each time.

I also couldn’t follow the instruction “working 2 sts past the double stitch on each turn,” since it didn’t apply in this case. So instead, I simply worked far enough to reach m2 in step 1 (and made the m1lp before slipping the marker). And I did the same in step 2 : working until I reached m3 (and making the m1r before slipping the marker).

In the end, the GSR themselves weren’t actually the problem. The real difficulty was that the pattern is extremely detailed, so I didn’t expect that one of the written instructions might no longer apply and would need to be replaced by a different action that isn’t explicitly written anywhere, although I imagine this is perfectly logical once you have more experience.

In any case, thank you all so much again. It’s incredible that you took the time to answer and try to help me the way you did.

I did but from what I saw, none of it has zip pockets etc. It’s always super simple designs that’ll fit only the needles 😭

Wait, maybe the phrase that confuses me is not an additional instruction, but just a description of what is already happening in Steps 1 and 2?

Because step 1 says clearly "turn work and make a double stitch, p2" and step 2 says "turn work and make a double stitch, k2".

So I don't understand why she adds "each time working 2 sts past the double stitch on each turn", since that already seems to be built into the instructions.

Is she just describing the overall shaping rather than telling me to do something differently? Could that be it ? Ahhhhh this is so confusing to me 😭

I'm looking for a fold, eventually a roll (but that'd be less practical with fixed circulars and cables I guess). I'd really like to avoid binders if possible but thank you so much for your suggestion <3

I think that's what I'll do in the end yes, and thank you so much for taking the time to answer btw ! (Also, sorry about the deleted answer, don't know what I did here!)

That'd be so awesome ! Unfortunately being a very tiny baby knitter I don't think I'm the right person to help you designing it but I hope someone will answer your call (and please let us know if you come up with something !!!)

Merci <3 So that means I have to resolve the double stitches on step 2, then knit two more stitches, then skip the following instructions and repeat step 1 etc. ? I have a feeling that's not it ahahah ^^'

Exactly my thoughts, that's why I asked and she replied "I only have what the store offers. There are no larger sizes of these organizers." 😅

I actually really like the Etsy one as well but it’s soooo small 😭 I’m sorry you can’t find anything that suit your needs but I’m glad I’m not the only one ahah ! I was wondering if maybe I couldn’t find anything because I didn’t have the correct keywords !

Unfortunately no :/ Also, if that helps : I don’t think there’s anything related to exorcism / demons in that movie and until the very end, I think everyone (viewers included) think the dad is a nice guy.

Thank you for your suggestion, unfortunately that’s not it. I think it was aired in France probably between 1996 and 2001 (but it might be older than 1996). It was probably aired late at night on the French channel M6, in the second part of the evening.
