Bolero Help!

Alright I’m heading to the beach this weekend and I found the perfect vacation project: http://kellymaher.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/ribbed-lace-bolero/

Now I’m totally confused by this part:
[I]row 2: p1 (p1, p1 into first yo, p1 into the back of the second yo, p1) repeat lace pattern until 1 stitch left, p1[/I]

          What does it mean to p1 into the first yo?  Help please!!!  Thanks!

I JUST finished the same bolero. I¨m not sure I¨ll be able to explain it clearly enough, but I¨ll try ( and anyone jump in and correct me if I´m wrong ) ( which would mean my whole bolero is done wrong :wink: )

Row 1 you´ve done the k1, k2 tog, YO, YO, ssk, right? well, when you turn it around to do row 2, you p1, p1, then purl the first loop ( of the yarn over ) and then purl into the back of the loop ( instead of the front of the loop ) of the second YO. Does that make sense? Best bet is to do a row to see how it looks - then it might click.

Good luck!

That’s exactly what you do. :thumbsup: By purling into the front of the first YO loop and then the back of the second, the yarn in the YOs will twist so that the 2 new stitches are separate. If you were to purl into the front of both loops, you’d never be able to get 2 separate stitches – there wouldn’t be anything to keep the stitches in place and they would merge together to form one large loop!

Good job, Karen! :happydance:

Oooh ok! I got it now (at least i think i do!) It’s funny how somebody else can explain it and it make sense! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the “pat on the back” Spokaloo!!! :heart:
And good luck Babyduck87 ( pix when you´re done please…)
