Hi!

I’ve been trying to figure out this pattern for a few days. First! I’ve knitted the Set Up Rows as instructed. I have 5 stitches on my needle. I am now going into the pattern. (Pointed Ends) work rows 1-58 of the chart on the last page…
The first row of the pattern has 3 sts. (YO, K, YO) but I have the 5 sts on my needle from the Set Up Rows. How do I do this?

Once I understand this… my second issue is how to do a YO at the beginning of a row. I’ve read some tutorials but would like to know how you do it specifically.

Thanks for some help! I’m eager to finally get going with this pattern. Hate being stumped like this.

Thanks!

Has anyone had a problem with the pattern “Fountain Pen Shawl” fro the Spring 2009 Interweave knit magazine? I am having a problem going from the body working rows 1-20 ending with 47 sts. and then going to the body chart. The number of stitches does not match the 47 I finished with. Can anyone help me??? Thanks!

This is lovely! I’ve eyed it a couple of times, but am wary of those nupps. You give such clear and helpful instructions with Forest Canopy. Any chance you’ve given some tips to the ‘nupp challenged’ on this gem?

Lovely & the pointed end is a key feature – love it!

Oooh, how delicate! What a nice tribute too, as you are probably correct in seeing the fountain pen edging towards extinction, and ruled notepaper right along with it.

I thought the ends looked like little barn owls. I had to read down to figure out what owls and cursive had in common…
Beautiful scarf!

I still use a fountain pen, always have (well, 50+ years). Is this an appropriate first-lace-project? I’ve been wanting to do one, but have cold feet (so I do socks:))
