is anybody out there?

Anyone else making the Venezia cardigan from the SnB calendar?

I finished the back last night but ended up with less stitches than the pattern states. I CO 70 and knit to decreases. The decreases say BO 3 sts at the end of the next 4 rows. Then decreases 1 sts at each end of every 4th row 6 times. 24 sts down right?

70-24=46. Ok. Then on last row. BO 15. Knit 22sts in pattern and place on holder. BO 15.

huh? 15+22+15= 52 Where did I go wrong? I have email Cascade about an errata. but for now I fudge it a bit and keeping my fingers crossed that the fronts will match up. It may be time to learn more about steeking.

  • Yeah, something is off here. This has happened several times on patterns I've knit, and it's annoying as all getout. Fudging it usually works unless it's a raglan, in which case, you have to be a better woman than I to touch it. I hope the Cascade people get back to you soon!

  • I'm having the exact same problem and found your blog while searching for errata! I'm on the last row of the cardigan back and can't decide how many to bind off, etc. Looks like we're making the same size, so how did you end up dividing your stitches? Thanks!
