Hi everyone,
Not sure my topic title makes sense (happy to adjust it if someone can suggest a better one?) but here’s the issue: I’m currently test knitting a sock pattern by a first-time designer. It’s a (gorgeous) cuff-down all-over stranded colorwork sock with a reinforced heel and a gusset. Now, I always knit with the wrong side of the work outside the “tube” (facing me) and the right side of the work inside the tube. The designer apparently knits the opposite way. Can this have an impact on the way to write/interpret the pattern instructions? Basically, I started knitting in the round again after completing the heel and instead of starting with the diagram for the sole of the feet as the pattern requires, I have to start with the diagram for the top of the feet. I had the correct number of stitches after completing the heel but now my knitting doesn’t match the diagrams. It’s entirely possible that I have made some sort of mistake somewhere, but could this be linked to the sense of my circular knitting not matching the designer’s? Also, this is a first-time designer so I wonder if he would need to take that into account (assuming, possibly wrongly, that I haven’t made any mistake)?
