" Change to 10 mm (US 15) circular needle. Continue in pattern working further buttonholes on each subsequent 11th and 12th rows"

i dont understand where they get the 11th and 12th row from? do i knitt in the pattern for 10 rows then start on the button hole rows?

You're just counting rows to the next buttonholes - so just keep knitting in your pattern as usual, but when you've done ten rows, do buttonhole row 1 (as well as following pattern row 1) and then buttonhole row 2 (as well as following pattern row 2) - that's your 11th row and your 12th row. Then do that all again: 10 rows in pattern, rows 11 and 12 in pattern and also making a buttonhole.

Hi Everyone

http://www.readicut.co.uk/category.asp?cat_id=SPKN&jump=16&sfile=1

Readicut have some good offers on at the moment if anyone is feeling brave including Sirdar Click 500g pot luck for 7.80. Not sure I'm willing to chance it after last time though - got substitutions on both my orders and only liked one but left it too late to return the other.

Giving them one more chance and have ordered Sirdar peru 500g pot luck pack for 9.89 x 2. Wish me luck!

I ordered two packets of the Click a few weeks ago and it just so happens the wool is perfect for a pattern I already have as I didn't like the free patterns that came with it.

Also looked at the Peru but the only thing that put me off was the fact it was hand wash.

What colour did you get in the click lynseydee?

I'm knitting with the peru at the moment, I did say I wouldn't use it again as you get a real stripe everytime you start a new ball, i'm tempted though as I do like the colours in the naturals range.

Princesspoppy can I ask what edition of prime it is, the chickens look lovely.

Just checked the Readicut offers, and they are still offering Moonglow. How come they are still offering, and hardly any of us got it when we ordered

I got the colour Foxglove. It's the reddish one in the picture.

Good question! My 2 items on order last time were 2 other different pot lucks and I didn't get either - got 2 substitutions. This is their last chance to redeem themselves with me! Love the Peru that I've ordered and have seen it in shops pretty expensive so fingers crossed. Must admit, i'm also tempted by the gypsy wool in a pot luck but will wait and see what happens with Peru.

Hi wonder if anyone can help me.

I have been looking for decently priced (i.e. cheap) knitting wool for lace knitting (2 ply or similar, for wedding ring shawls) and wonder if anyone can recommend any good online shops (all the 'real' shops in my area have either shut or are far too expensive). The lace yarn I have seen sells online at about £30 per cop, which is a bit steep for me.

Many thanks for any assistance.
