Yarn over!

[afuna]

I was doing yarnover wrong!

So... yarnover is basically adding an additional loop (which will end up making a hole for decorative purposes) before making another stitch. I thought that yarnover was adding another loop and then making another stitch to anchor the new loop.

So, when the pattern called for (yo, k1), I ended up doing (yo, k1, k1), which threw me off the count completely.

(This post probably won't make sense to you unless you knit *g*)

(Thank you synecdochic and hobbitblue for providing suggestions to make the pattern line up, until I got my EUREKA\o/ moment.)

Do it. Do eeeet.

(You will find that there is no lack of enablers here on DW :-) Especially when it comes to code or knitting)

Hermmm. I'll definitely think about it. Are there good (inexpensive) books I can look at?

Hmm, I'm not sure! I've been learning from http://knittinghelp.com, and from a book I inherited from my sister (so I have no idea how much it cost :-))
