I’ve figured out short rows!!!

I started on the Shapely Tee from White Lies Designs: http://www.whiteliesdesigns.com/patterns/lpullovers/fbd.html and for the life of me I couldn’t get the stupid short rows to work. They worked fine on the knit side when I was picking up the wraps, but on the purl side…. GEEZ.. it was a twisted bumpy mess!!!

After doing significant research online I finally found the missing information.. when you pick up the wrapped stitch when purling, you pick it up on the knit side… DOH!!! I had frogged that sweater 3 times!!! but now I’m back on my way – and successfully this time!!! I’m so excited!!

As I get more done, I’ll post pics (ok.. as soon as I drag out the camera..)
