Hello, love your beautiful knitting book. I am a newbie knitter and I am knitting the Summer sky Blanket. I have cast on 96 stitches. How do I pick up and knit 97? for the border. I tried picking up twice in one stitch and of course that doesn't work. How do I increase a stitch when there are only 96? and it asked me to do 97?
Yeah, that's a sneaky thing I did (you'll run into it sometimes). What you can do is kf&b into one of the stitches that you've picked up, or pick up an extra stitch between stitches on the blanket edge. It doesn't have to look perfect--the edging will cover it!
I purchased the American version of your book - what to knit what you're expecting and am trying to work on the Sophie blouse. However I can't work out how to jump from row 7 to row 10 for 0-3 months and get 91 stitches. After doing row 10, I end up having 85 instead (109) in row 7. What am I misunderstanding ? I have 30 stitches from beginning to second marker, 25 in middle, and 30 from third marker to end... Please help...
Hi, I have your book 'what to knit when you're expecting' and I am really confused with the scallop pattern on the bloomers. It reads: CO 4 sts. Set up row: K to end. Row 1: k2, yf, k2, yf, k2. 6 sts. If you add up the 'k2' in row one it equals 6 sts and you told me to CO 4. And if I add in the yf then it would actually end up with 8 sts. Can you clarify? Thanks

Autumn Leaves sweater p. 94 row 22. What does pssp mean? It is not in the abbreviations. Please answer me quickly as I am dying to finish the garment.
Hi Lynn,
Pssp is a typo! It should be psso--Pass slipped stitch over.

Hi Corina,
Sorry about that! Yes, the first row of the scallop pattern should read:
Row 1 of edging is: k2 (yf)2X, k2--6 sts.
