Knit-Along Clue 3: Spoilers and Photos

[4grammy4]

Here's my one square:

KAL Clue 3 A by Shandeh, on Flickr

Mine looks similar the color E is folding over at the beginning and appears larger than the second yarn. This is my first square to measure 10 inches, while using size 9 needles on all.

hmmmm--mine doesn't look like that! Must have got off a row or something. To big a hurry. It's froggy time!

[Shandeh]

I've gotten this far on Clue 3 but when I changed colour and followed the pattern for the decreasing rows, my loops started appearing on the opposite side. Is it me or should we just knit one row after changing colour instead of knitting two rows?

You should end your first half of knitting by working color E on a repeat of the 9th row (wrong side).

You then change colors, and knit TWO rows with color C. (right side, then wrong side)
Then you start the pattern for the new color on the 1st row (right side)

In the second section, your rows of all knit stitches will be on the wrong side.

First block done. This one is obviously going to take longer than the others. The patterns are very nice but the block turned out a bit larger than the others. I may have to tighten up my tension a little.

:knit: waiting to see a photo real soon. I've gotten three quarters of the way on my first square and what I'm unsure of is that the second half is totally different than the first - is that right?

Yes, the second half is different.

Couldn't sleep until I finished the first square....

I am not finished as you can see! But I am having a lot more fun making this square than any of the other ones so far and I wanted to show off how much I finished in just over an hours work. Mind you, that was learning what was wanted of me. I love how we are building on previous skills as we go along, doesn't feel overwhelming this way.
Can you tell how off my lighting is? Same square pictured, just different sides and they look like two different colours!

**Edit**
I replaced my previous photos with my half way progress photos.
Didn't take as long to get that much more done than the first bit, just over another hour. I figure the whole thing will take me about 4-5 hours. And just to be clear, we have to make 8 identical ones eh?

*Edit*
My finished square is more rectangle. My first side is way big compared to my second side. Should I try using smaller needles to do the first half?


I am so glad that someone else has had that experience with the first side being larger (or more loosely knit in my case) than the second side. Just finished my first square for this week and it is also measuring 1inch larger than other squares. Gauge was on point so I am not sure what to do. Really really don't want to frog. I am still behind onfirst weeks squares. (Got week two's done though!)
