LTK hybrid rib questions!  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Okay, so I've been having a grand time dying yarn with kool-aid! Here's a picture of my latest. I used orange, cherry and berry blue for this one.
I made a sheepy sack with matching LTK pilot hat.

I've made another sheepy sack with a batch of yarn I dyed using the blue lemonade, lemonade and black cherry kool-aid. I decided to make a hybrid rib with the remaining yarn- I made one before but it was too small for a baby of mine, so I gave it to my daughter for her dolls ( it was really an experiment any way using scraps).

So all is going great, I've got the short rows figured out and for the small size I end up inserting two short rows in the back. But when I get to the part where you knit and bind off I end up with only 30 in the back and 34 stitches in front. There's suppose to be 34 each... hmmmm???? I'm wondering are these the stitches I'm losing when I knit go back and knit together my wrapped stitch? That would be four stitches for two short rows.
But wouldn't the pattern take that into account? What am I doing wrong?

when you work the wrap with the stitch, you aren't losing a stitch - you're incorporating the wrap WITH the stitch. If you're decreasing stitches at the ends of the short rows, you're not doing them right - you should defintiely NOT be decreasing stitches there.

Oh yeah! When you do the wrap you're adding, so when you knit it together you're just going back to the same amount! Duh..... sorry! I don't know where I'm losing those. It turned out fine in the end, looks great.
I just have to figure out the gussets now, I don't crochet so I'm putting that bit off.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my silly question!
