http://lovinghands.org.uk/micro%20gown.pdf

im on the bodice part now, the way i read it started off with 50 stitches but because you cant do a YO at the end of the row you get 49 to do the lace part with. i decreased down to 25 stitches on the K2tog row and have done the 4 stocking stitch rows now im stuck
ive just done a knit row so in effect am reversing the patternt as the next (decrease row is also knit) but i havent got enough stitches to do all the decreases that are required according to the patter 6+10+13+10+6 =45 ive only got 25
ca anyone see where ive gone wrong please i really dont want to rip 3 nights of work back

Then knit 6 stitches, CO 10 stitches, Knit 13 stitches, CO 10 stitches, Knit 6.
is this the row u are stuck on mrs m?
knit 6 cast on 10 knit 13 cast on 10 knit 6, to me it seems that you have forgotten that co means cast on, and all you need to do is this rtow again
hope this helps, as i'm not good at explaining things

morning everyone, slept ok last night, and slept in til 8.30 which is unusual for me, guess my body needed the sleep, and was more relaxed knowing there was no one else in the house, usually up to mischief lol

mrs-mp it looks to me as if you've read the pattern wrong, you cast on for sleeves, then when you knit back it leeves a little space for arms. If you dont knit the last 2 stitches tog on the pattern row you should end up with the right number of stitches and a neat edge. I hope that makes sense. Good luck. I wouldn't pull out what you've done, wing it.

Shaz you'll probably find the boys are at your house more than their own! Plus side is you can visit them and have one to one, and if it gets a bit fraught you can leave and go back later. I know it's hard when they first leave, and you've had both go almost at the same time so it must be very strange, but just think, you can invite gentlemen over and have no interuptions. Go girl!

Posts crossed Shaz, good to hear you slept well. x

gentlemen over, hadnt thought of that kinsey:A
boyfriend is in army, its his birthday today, maybe on his next trip back to uk, i'll invite him to mine for his present lol
the boys flats are within a supported housing scheme, so i am sure they will get lots of support from them as well as from me, they also have a named key worker, who they have to do weekly sessions with.
josh just text me, he didnt sleep much, being his first night thats understnadable.
josh is coming for tea, and taking his beloved tv, and playstation, so tonight should be much better for him, and more relaxing
