April Showers Scarf: Materials

• 1 ball of Jade Sapphire's Lacey Lamb, 100% extrafine lambswool (This color is #305 Key Largo.)
• 1 skein of Alchemy's Silken Straw, 100% silk (This is #73w Blue Ice.)

• US #7 needles (I used and recommend a 24" Skacel Addi Lace needle. With sharp points especially designed for lace knitting, these needles make knitting Row 8 of this pattern much easier than any other needle option. They are also a little less slippery than the regular Addi Turbo needles, which is welcome here because the Silken Straw can be a little wily.)

I was looking for that Lacey Lamb colorway at your store just this week! Instead I ended up with Jade Sapphire Cashmere-Silk (I think you're holding an extra skein for me) and it's coming out beautifully but I do love these blues and have been madly craving them lately!

Just had my first visit on the weekend, and bought the silken straw in Amethyst with the Lacey Lamb Wisteria to complete this. Going to give it a try.....

what am I doing wrong? I do the stitches as written but the count does not add up to what you have printed. Taken the scarf out four times now.
can someone help me find my mistake?
I have typed the pattern out and made a diagram. the diagrams do not match the stitch count you have listed.

Hi Carol-

The pattern and stitch counts are correct, but one very common mistake that you might be making involves a misunderstanding with the "yarn over". Lots of people think that a yarn over includes a knit stitch, when actually, a yarn over is just the act of bringing the yarn forward (into the knit position, in this case). If you've been bringing the yarn forward and then knitting stitch and calling that a yarn over, then you'd definitely have run into some problems!

I hope this answers your question. If not, let us know and we'll try again!

Thanks!
