If you are starting to knit the Rona Lace Shawl from Knit Picks, beware of a pattern typo on line 50. – You won’t discover it is wrong until after you’ve knit the row and are going on to line 51. According to Knit Picks, the correction is (printed in red):
Round 50: *(KB, p1)10 times, KB, k5. Repeat from * to end of round. (26)
And here are the other corrections if you are just now starting.
Round 38: *K5, KP in next yo, KB, P&K in next yo, k6. Repeat from * to end of round. (16) (note, the first yo into which the KP is worked is followed by KB – then work a P&K). If you do not reverse the order, from KP to P&K, the ribbed design will not come out right. Keep on doing so through the 46th round). …
Round 43: S(1)RHN, * yo, k2tog, yo, (KB, p1)6 times, KB, yo, SKP, yo, SK2P. Repeat from * to end of round. (20)…
Round 46: *K1, KP, (KB, p1)8 times, KB, P&K, K2. Repeat from * to end of round. (24)…
Somehow I got by without the other corrections. I wonder if anyone will notice? Naaah.
But while we are on the subject, here is my progress on the shawl. I’m on line 52 now. I wish there was a way to photograph lace on circulars without it looking like a piled-up load of poop. So use your imagination!
And here is a closeup.
All the ribbing and knitting through the back loop is killing me. I had half a mind to change it to normal knit, but then I was convinced there has to be a reason. I HATE knitting rib. It annoys me for some reason. I think if I were a Continental-style knitter and not a thrower, it might not annoy me so bad. -I’ve been trying to learn to knit Continental for awhile now, and I still need lots of practice. One day.
I have progress on the Rambling Rose cardigan as well, but I am out of time.
Happy Sunday everyone!
I started the Rona shawl, and am up to row 35…so far, so good.
I started this shawl using the magic loop, and continued with magic loop until round 21, then I switched to the 24″ circs. No sewing!
