I am working on a Sirdar boys sweater.
Question 1:
It has a 2X2 rib which is 2 rows to the pattern. After it sets the rib pattern it says;
work 7 more rows more in the 2×2 rib.
So i take that “more” to mean on top of the 2 I just did to learn the pattern. So when it says 7 ROWS more, that means the pattern or “2×2 rib” 3 1/2 more times?
So I would do
Rib (2 rows) – setting the pattern
Rib (2 rows)
Rib (2 rows)
Rib (2 rows)
Rib (1 row of the rib) – for a total of 9 rows
Question 2:
Next after that it says – NEXT ROW. Rib to end dec (decrease) 3 sts evenly across row. 71sts. Change to 4mm needles and procedd as follows (then it sets a 14 row pattern).
What in the world do I do? It says 71 sts, what does that mean? I started out with 74, so that must mean now I will have 71 sts left if I decrease by 3? Right? okay i think i get that one little part.
So to be clear here is pattern:
Using 3 1/4mm needles and the thumb method cast on 74 sts.
1st Row: *K2, p2, rep from * to last 2 stst, k2
2nd Row: P2, *k2, p2, rep from the * to end.
These 2 rows will now be referred to as 2×2 rib.
Work 7 rows more in 2×2 rib.
Next row. Rib to end dec 3 sts evenly across row. 71 sts.
So maybe the reason it doesnt have you finish the “rib” is because the second half of the last rib, or last row in the rib your going to decrease in it. How does one decrease evenly across a row? on the ends? Split up in the center?

That whole water weight thing does effect the numbers. Yea, I am glad you went with #2.

But I’m in with the majority anyways. :-)) Don’t work too hard this long weekend. And… 1/2 pound gone is better than nothing or going the other direction. I’m trying hard and keep going in the wrong direction. I’d love 1/2 pound gone right about now. :-))

Oh, and those biscotti’s suck anyway.

When I was doing weight watchers a few years ago, I wanted to slap the lady everytime I got on the scale and she told me that. Especially if I passed up some great food!
