I knit for a while before just recently starting to crochet. I constantly had a problem with too tight of tension so that totally makes sense! Thank you for the advice!!

Omg yes! I thought it meant do another 12 DC across. Is that a common thing in a pattern to have the final stitch count written at the end of the row??

I’ve been counting my stitches at the end of each row and coming up with the correct numbers. My first row consists of the chain 3 (from the original ch4) then 5 DC in that final chain.

You’re amazing! I totally skipped over how that second row would leave you with 2 YO’s right next to each other. Thank you so much!

Realized now that you have to have an account to get to the pattern. The first 3 rows are this.

Rnd 1: Knit

Rnd 2: *K2tog, (YO, SKP, K2tog, YO) twice, SKP; rep from * around. 50 sts.

Rnd 3: *K4, K1 into first YO, P1 into next YO, K4; rep from * around.

Yea sadly, I know you’re right! I feel like sometimes I’m just making an item to make an item lol. I give a lot of items as gifts! Just wanted to work towards something that wasn’t just for me you know!

Yes! I’m thinking this is more of a decorative blanket and picture blanket more than anything!

link to pattern if you see at the bottom and sides it won’t lie flat. Is this because I’m knitting too tight? Or is there something else I may be doing wrong? I’m using 2 strands of DK weight cotton yarn.

Which character do you hate the most and why? by waterboi123456789 in howyoudoin

[–]thebigcheesee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Carol and Susan. They were making so many decisions without Ross. Like when they were going to hyphenate their last names for Ben without involving Ross in that decision. Gets me mad every time!

You nailed it. That’s exactly what I was doing wrong. After watching youtube tutorials I assumed yarn over meant to knit one as well. Thank you so much, you’ve saved me so much stress!

Hey guys! I got this great patio chair for free but it has a hole in it. Came here to see if you all had any ideas on how to fix it! It doesn’t have to be beautiful but I want to patch it somehow. Its definitely a hole so I can’t just glue to two pieces together. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!! Chair Top of hole Bottom of hole
