I finished the BSJ no worries, i've knit a Bloke hat since then, i even worked out how to do crown decreases on my own and then i cast on for a blankie based on a doily pattern and it's all gone horribly wrong!
Rounds 1-27 have gone fine. I've changed the pattern slightly as the original version has eyelets in the outer star and i don't want them, i worked out what was eyelet and what was the edge of the star and reworked the pattern. Lovely, looks fab so far!
Get to round 28 and my instructions tell me to
place last 2sts. of each needle on left-hand needle, *yo k1 yo sl1k1psso k3 yo sl1k1psso k3 yo sl1k1psso k1 rep. from * all roundohhhhhkaaaaaaaaay!
Now, i am doing it magic lopp stylee so i presume that means that i only have to move two stitches from the front needle to the back and then the last two worked stitches from the end of the back needle to the front... or not! If i move them and then work over them it doesn't work out. If i move them and start two stitches in it doesn't work out. If i don't move them it doesn't work out and if i frog it i will be really pissed off and the wool will go back in the loft for another year like it did the last time i tried to make a blankie with it and ended up frogging it!!
I
AM
VERY
FRUSTRATED!
Luckily i am off to visit for a couple of days, i'm leaving it at home and taking the wool for another BSJ with me as that is so much less stressful compared to this!
