Hi Sarah! Super cute bible! I'm starting one now, but I have a quick question. For row 2, are you working into that first stitch (leaving an unworked stitch at the end of the row) or are you skipping that stitch and doing the 2 sc in the second stitch?
ReplyDeleteHello! Starting at row 2, you will be starting in the first stitch. You will not be skipping any stitches. Hope that helps!
DeleteI'm still ending with an unworked stitch at the end of row 2...
ReplyDeleteSo after row 1, you have 14 sts. For row 2, you will work 2sc into the first st, 1sc in the next 12, and 2sc into the last st.
DeleteOh my goodness! I see that now. I'm such a dork! Lol! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteLol, no worries. Glad I could help!
DeleteYour little bib is fantastic! Mine isn't looking like that so far. I'm having problems. When u finish 1st shoulder do you cut off yarn before you ss for 2nd shoulder? Also do you cut off yarn at end of 2nd shoulder - maybe I'm just dense I just don't understand. As well when you start border I don't understand when you say "start at the neck of the bib. Sc along the edge and up the edge of the shoulder." do you start at the edge of the shoulder & go up then ch 45 or do you start in the middle of the neck & go across then up the shoulder - I'm just confused - not sure how to read this. sorry about that! Many tks for any assistance you can give me to clarify this "block" I hv.
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteYes, you cut the yarn after the 1st shoulder and the 2nd shoulder. For the border, you only ch 45 for the strap once you get to the top of one of the shoulders. I hope this helps you.
Tk u but still having problem with the Border. Don't understand "start at the neck - sc along the edge and up the edge of shoulder" Do u start at edge of shoulder & go straight up or do you start in center between shoulders - confused where to start - sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI start in the middle between the shoulders.
