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.)

Have you learnt to knit from Stitch N Bitch? I'm sorry, I should have remember to check how you were doing yarn over, that book must be responsible for more people getting it wrong and having to be rescued than could possibly be beleived. Glad you've got it sorted!

Oooh, I haven't actually. I've been learning from knittinghelp.com, which did it correctly, but I misassumed. All my fault :-)
