Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so I’ll introduce myself at the same time. My name is Mary Lou and I live in far western Maryland in a small town named Friendsville. I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa where I learned to crochet. Once upon a time I made crocheted lace doilies but the little tiny hooks seem to have become more difficult to work with. (Must be the hooks, not my ability to see the little tiny end) Since moving to Md I learned to knit and have made some basic things. But now I’d like to do some lace knitting and have accumulated some wonderful patterns. One pattern that I especially like says to “knit into the next stitch 5 times”. In another place in the pattern it says to knit into the next stitch 7 times. Well, I tried doing it the way I thought was the most logical but I don’t think it was correct. I know how to knit into the front and back of the same stitch, but how do you knit into the same stitch multiple times? Especially when it is 5 or 7 times. I want to make sure I know how to do the stitches in the doily before starting it.
Thanks for anyone’s help.
Mary Lou in Friendsville
