Spring Breeze Silk Blouse...An Oops.
This is the beginning of the Spring Breeze Silk Blouse from Kiparro Farm in Maryland.The pattern is wrong. I tried repeatedly to get past row 1 with no avail.
I called Kiparro Farm.
Long story short, this is how the pattern is supposed to be written:
Row 1 (right side): K1, *(K2tog 3 times), (yo, K1 6 times), (K2tog 3 times)* repeat from * to * until last stitch, K1.
Row 2: Knit (Wrong side. Causes ridges to show on front of work)
Row 3: Knit
Row 4: Purl
As it's written now, you end up decreasing 3 stitches every row, which is obviously wrong. I haven't gotten further than a few inches so I can't say whether the rest of the pattern is a mess or not. I have a sinking suspicion that I'll have more problems eventually with this one.
I was told that the stitch pattern is a variation of feather and fan. I was able to google the instructions and that helped immensely.
Let me know if this ever helps anyone. :)
And thank you everyone once again for your support. I can only hope that all of you know how much you mean to me.

That drives me bananas. I know mistakes happen, but when there are big mistakes, you've got to wonder whether anyone ever bothered to test knit the thing. I recently bought a pattern on line that only has about half a page of instructions total, at least one part is obviously missing (no instructions on how to do the neckline), and the rest is very unclear. And it involves steeking! I tried the email listed and my message came back as undeliverable. Aggravating.
Must get me some of that yarn!! Love it!
Thinking good thoughts for you and hoping this is all over quickly.
bleh pattern errors! Lovely yarn, though....
It's going to be a beaut! Worth the pattern error aggravation.
Happy birthday!
(it's now friday!)
