Candle Flame Shawl

I really want to make this shawl. I have been fighting with the pattern now for a week. Everything is great until I get to row 19. :?? It just dosen't work out. I was hoping that someone here might have made this shawl, and can help me.

Can you put the part you're having problems with here? Maybe we can help you work it out.

Or even better, is it a pattern you can link to?

I tryed the link thing.That was a bust. .........I got the pattern from Pattern Central ( I Looooove that site) I got in contacted with someone ,that I guess runs the site (wonderful person) that sent me here for help..... So if you have a few minutes, here's my prob. Row 18 : P9,k2,P3,k2,p9. (I have 25 sts on the needle now) ........... Row 19 RS: k4, (k, yo, k)<--all in the same stitch.) p2 (sl2-k1-p2sso) p2,k4,(k, yo,k)k4 Co3st.........Now call me crazy, but does row 19 add up to 21 sts? Or what am I doing wrong? And another thing (remeber I'm new here) how do get those little smiley guys in my post? They look fun. Thanx ...Karen

Here ya go.....

Candle Flame Shawl

I'm counting 21, too....

Have you emailed the designer? The one whose email is at the bottom of the pattern? Sounds like you emailed Rachel at knittingpatterncentral...

I get that you end up with 23, but use 21. That still doesn't help.

k4= 4
k,yo,k= 3
p2= 2
sl2,k1,psso=1
p2= 2
k4= 4
k,yo,k= 3
k4= 4
___
23
