So... My natural instinct is to start clue 4 on row one stitch one. I know somewhere I read about how I need to start on stitch 9 (I am size 5). Is there is where I needed to start on stitch 9? If not where? I am doing the straight one. I would also like to know why I need to start on stitch 9?

I have knitted until I am supposed to split. I have put the lock markers in place but the last area is only 23 stitches instead of 55 (I am making size 5). I started with 307 and now have 328. Was I supposed to add a stitch or knit and add together on the increases. Any other suggestions?

I am loving it all - the pattern, the yarn, the color. Being my first yoke, I am learning a lot. Are short rows always done on yokes? Can’t wait until clue 3!

After waiting and waiting for my yarn to get out of customs, I finally got it! And HATED it! After a quick run to my lys I was on my way! Here is finished 1st clue. I am loving my colors

Sorry Zanete if this message isn't allowed .... But i'm so curious.... Where do you all come from. How spread is your reach of knitters. I think we come from all over the world. We have to do something to kill the time untill the first releas on friday! I have a lot of pleasure here in this group. Seeing all the combinations, reading tips and tricks... Every part in the world has his own knitting method. I will start. I'm from Belgium Europe. A small country with a king and queen! I live near by Bruges. In the middle ages it was a very important city, a center of trade. Nature did dry up the waterways and it fell asleep. Still Looks like the middle ages. A lot of tourism. So English isn't my language. But I'm doïng the best I can and don't use google Translate. Let my mind donthe work
