Another MagKnits question

mrs.slavinsky · 01-10-2008, 12:24 AM

I am about to start the "Right Edge Triange" in Tier 1 and it says to pick up 10 stitches then turn, BUT this is stated earlier in the pattern notes:

"When starting the first Right Side Triangle and all Top Triangles, the one st remaining on the needle from the previous triangle will count as the first of the 10 total sts you will need to pick up. "

I don't have any stitches left over from the previous triangle on my right kneedle. I have exactly 10 stitches for that last Wrong Side Triangle I did.

Do I still pick up 10 stitches or should I pick up 9 stitches?

Thanks!

There should be one stitch leftover from the decreasing you did; that's the one leftover st they're talking about. Which magknits pattern, or is it one from knitty?

It is this one aqnd I don't have any stitches left over.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that pattern. What did you do at the end of the Wrong Side triangle that you don't have a stitch left? There should be one on the needle from the last p2tog.

I don't know. :-/ I thought I was following the pattern right. I picked up 10 stitches and worked them as the pattern says for Wrong Side Triangle (8 times) and I never had any left over stitches on any of them when I finished. Only had 10 stitches on the needle from that triangle (plus the other stitches I had from the other triangles I did) but I don't have any extra stitches and if I were to use one of the 10 stitches from the other triangle I would only have 9 stitches left and I think that would be wrong.

Hmmmm, you wouldn't happen to be able to post a picture?

mrs.slavinsky · 01-10-2008, 05:33 PM

Yes, I just took a picture thinking it might help you. And if it helps I continental knit.

This is the last Wrong Side Triangle I did.

You may have picked up your stitches from the wrong spot. After you finished the WS triangle, you would pick up the sts from the triangle over on the right side of the picture. I think.

Yeah, that is the triangle that I was going to pick up the stitches from. It says to pick up 10 but earlier in the notes it says that the left over stitches counts as the first of the 10 stitches to be picked up but I don't have any left over stitches. Should I still pick up 10 or 9?

Somehow, your stitches didn't decrease on the block you just did. You may have to do it over again so you're left with one st. Orrrr, this pattern is done differently than other entrelac ones I've worked and I'm wrong. I may have to work this out on the needles...
