I know what you mean about non existent stitch. It doesn't appear till you have worked the first stitch on the next needle. Hope this helps!!! It was a pain in the neck, but I just had to live with it. The colour is lovely!!<BR/>Good welding news too!!2pawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183036564465862022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-3904874008855258652008-01-22T16:02:00.000+11:002008-01-22T16:02:00.000+11:00Umm, I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going t...Umm, I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to give it a go...<BR/><BR/>I'm knitting a sock at the moment on 2.5mm needles, using 64 stitches. They're toe up, so I may increase another 4 stitches as I go up the leg, but so far so good. And I'm a fairly tight knitter. So I probably wouldn't go up stitch number AND stick size if I were you - I'd only do one or the other. I think 3mm is probably too big for 4ply, unless you are a really tight knitter!<BR/><BR/>Re slipping the yo, I'm not sure why you can't slip it, the yarn is over the needle, so you just slip it like any other stitch? Or am I missing something? <BR/><BR/>If you don't like the yo at the end of the needle, you can divide the stitches across the 3 needles in any other way that makes sense with the pattern. If you need to, you can use stitch markers for where the end of each needle should be if you followed the way the pattern says. I do that all the time (I hate yo at end of needles too!!). Hope that helps.Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-34181382159272738792008-01-22T14:27:00.000+11:002008-01-22T14:27:00.000+11:00I dunno.
