In Training.....

For the last few days my partner R.O.E and I were training, getting ready for the Amazing Lace. We have suffered a set back. I had a misunderstanding over the directions for part b of the pattern.
The pattern called for (K.1,M.3)3 times. I did the increases the way I normally do a make one, by lifting the bar between stitches and putting on the left needle.then did a k,p,k into the the loop.

It appears *clears throat* that as this is an older pattern, they have different knitting terms. The book is British and from the late 50's maybe early 60's. It appears they wanted me to take the next stitch on the needle and increase by doing k,p,k into one stitch.

Thus by doing my boo-boo I was increasing by 3 stitches each time I came to that part of the pattern instead of only 2 stitches. in just a few rows rapidly approaching 100 extra stitches.

So frogging insued, and we are trying to get back to our former row as quickly as possiable. Now on row 7, I might of made a mistake on row 3. faints
