Even worse when the symbols sort of look the same. With cable charts I usually peer myopically at the symbols for the first couple of RS rows and then just follow my instincts (and the photo) after that. <br />Lace symbols are sensibly distinct.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168847731440762334.post-19711259317510227882009-09-10T08:53:26.513-07:002009-09-10T08:53:26.513-07:00Why is it that I can read a lace chart without a p...Why is it that I can read a lace chart without a problem and see the pattern in the chart, but I can't do the same with cable charts?<br /><br />Stephanie, you are indeed correct about that set up row, and I am blind. I can even see what you mean when, after having a good 8 hours of sleep, the chart starts in the lower left hand corner where it clearly states: SET UP!!!! Duh.<br /><br />Is it OK if I blame it on fatigue and not blindness, or more likely, intellect?<br /><br />Thank you for your help! I will rip back and start over right now.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168847731440762334.post-42862700265227035532009-09-10T08:44:46.801-07:002009-09-10T08:44:46.801-07:00I just tried out the 8-stitch repeat part - too la...I just tried out the 8-stitch repeat part - too lazy to cast on a bunch of stitches. Then, after I figured out all the errors, I set off. <br />I think that on a WS set-up row, you are supposed to read from left to right just as you would any WS row. I did that and the knits and purls seemed to line up OK. <br /><br />I hate charts. I would much rather read all the written out instructions. It's always nice when the pattern includes both.<br /><br />Hope this helps...I'd rather knit than do whatever else I have to do this morning. Thanks for the task.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.com
