Help with sweet pea shawl?

[younghooker]

I'm working on the SnB sweet pea shawl and I need some help with the second row please!!

 

My question is, row 2 says to slit stitch in each stitch until you get to the center dtr of the first shell... But the shell has 8 dtr... so what one do you go into???

 

Any help would be great

[younghooker]

haha, nevermind about the needing help.. I just realized that I read the ENTIRE patten wrong.. and now have to take out the entire road AHHH!!!

 

I thought that when the shell said to dtr, chain 2 dtr 4 times it meand dtr chain 2 dtr, then dtr chain 2 and dtr...

 

Hopefully I can figure this thing out

Congratulations on finding that mistake early! Ripping out one row is not too bad....I am lookng forward to seeing your shawl when it is all finished!

One quick note on the Sweet Pea, just in case you didn't already know ....

 

There's one small correction to the pattern listed on the book's website. It says:

 

"The chart for the lace pattern is correct, however, the directions for Row 3 should read as follows: Row 3: Ch 1, sc in first sc, *ch 1, sk next ch-3 space, shell in center ch of next ch-3 loop, ch 1, sk next ch-3 space, sc in next sc; repeat from * across, turn --- 19 shells."

 

Keep at it! It's a really fun pattern once you get into the rhythm of it!

For some reason, I was doing that even though it wasn't in the pattern.. lol!!

[younghooker]

actually, I just looked in my book and it says it exactly how I have been doing and they way that you told me to.

 

Did they reprint it?

[plazaglass]

I forgot it was reprinted with the corrections! I have the first printing, so mine has some errors. Glad you didn't have to deal with that!

[younghooker]

oh me too! lol.. When I got the message yesterday, I was half way done.. There was no way I was going to frog it all.. Right now, I'm only a few rows away from being done, so I'm hoping I can finish it at work today and post some pics!!
