Straight ones just aren't going to be long enough. <br /><br />Regarding the two central K sts, you will see as you get going that there is a two-stitch line at the middle of the shawl with a little twist in it every few rows. The way you turn the shawl into a triangle is, in part, by putting a new stitch (by way of a yarn over) just before and just after that two-stitch twisty line. The other thing you'll notice is that the lace pattern is different on either side of that two-stitch line - each side mirroring the other. So when you have the right side of the shawl facing you you will do the K1, ssk, yo, K1 lace until you reach the increases on either side of the central twisty line, and after that you switch to the K1, yo, K2tog, K1 lace.<br /><br />Hope this helps and do let me know if you have more questions!Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-90017803677971144072011-01-09T19:21:37.224-05:002011-01-09T19:21:37.224-05:00Hi...

I could understand few things about this pattern and it would help me if you clarify them.<br /><br />Do I need size 6 circular needles or the flat ones would work?<br />On Pg 2 you have written:<br />Row 1: (RS) P1, K1, yo, K1, [pm] *K1, ssk, yo, K1; repeat from * to the two central K sts [pm], yo, RT, yo [pm] <br />**K1, yo, K2tog, K1; repeat from ** to last 3 sts [pm], K1, yo, K1, P1<br /><br />What does repeat from * to the two central K sts mean? Are you talking the two central stiches of the ones that were knit in the previous round? I am unable to decide till where I need to repeat this.<br /><br />Thanks!!!Reechanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-52758694654995757182010-07-21T08:29:13.758-04:002010-07-21T08:29:13.758-04:00thanks a lot for the translationthanks a lot for the translationceahttp://perlesdecendrine.canalblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-35924979225925239482010-06-05T13:57:34.710-04:002010-06-05T13:57:34.710-04:00Thank you for the wonderful pattern!
