They looked truly revolting so I frogged it. <br /><br />I found that after getting it right once, the trick was (surprisingly), not to count the dropping double yarnovers part. Every time i counted, i'd get it wrong, or it turned out gross. <br /><br />Also, i'm not sure if it was just my knitting and lack of counting but i think there is an error in the stitch counts (not sure which row off the top of my head) so it was throwing my clam shell alignment out of whack. But once i ignored the stitch count in the pattern, it seemed to work out nicer..kaehttp://knit-knat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529229202555260270.post-37454777998685570352009-04-04T03:53:00.000-04:002009-04-04T03:53:00.000-04:00wow...lots of knitting! can't tell from the photos...wow...lots of knitting! can't tell from the photos that the fit on your hey-teach isn't quite right - I think it looks great! and love the sock photo!! hope to see you in NYC - happy travels and knitting!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047968915708927082noreply@blogger.com
