Crochet "On the Lace" Bernat Satin Cardigan CAL

[Shandeh]

I finally got the main body of the cardigan done (after frogging about half of it!) and now I'm starting on the sleeves. I'm having the same problem getting started that I did on the foundation row of the cardigan. I'm only getting 5 shells when I need 6. I've already started over once and I'm getting ready to start over again!!! This is sooooo frustrating!!!!!!!!

Finally got some uninterrupted time where I could really concentrate on what I'm doing. DH and dogs don't seem to realize that paying attention and counting is critical to this!! So I've got it figured out, again!!

What a relief that you got it figured out!

I got a LOT done on my cardigan today.
I finished the bottom all around, as well as the right front. And I'm halfway through the back! Woo Hoo!

Just started using my 4th skein, and still have 4 skeins left, so things are looking good.

I am making the medium cardigan and have run into a problem. On the first neck shaping it says to 'rep from * to last 2(3-2-2-3-3) shells, ending with 1 dc. Turn. leave rem sts unworked'. Which leaves me with a 3 shell neck shaping and a 2 shell strap going to the shoulder. On the next neck shaping it says 'miss first 2(2-2-2-3-3). Rejoin yarn with sl st in next dc. Ch 6(counts as 1 dc and ch 3). Pattern to end of row. That makes it a 3 shell strap to shoulder and a 2 shell neck shaping. I am very confused. Either I am reading it wrong or one of them is a typo.

Gosh, that one is making my head spin. Frustrating!

I am so far behind all of you! I have 10" of the body done and I'm doing 12" as I want it longer. I've had a delay in my crocheting because of surgery on Monday. I can't do any lifting heavier that 5-6# and they said no lawn mowing or roto-tilling! Next week I'll be gone but my crocheting and knitting are going with me. Going to a cottage with my 3 kids, their spouses and their 3 kids each; plus one is taking his girlfriend along for a couple of days. This will be the perfect time to catch up on my crocheting. I'm on the third skein of yarn at 10" so I think I'll be okay. I ordered extra so I could make it longer. I have 7 skeins left so I think I'll have plenty!

Thanks for the "site" for the magic knot. I'm just hoping it works okay and will stay knotted during/after washing!

Thanks. At least it will be a fairly easy fix. If it is a 3 shell strap, I will just have to frog down 6 rows and restart the shoulder shaping with an extra shell. And if it's a 2 shell strap, I haven't started the second one yet so nothing to frog. I'll go ahead and work on a sleeve until I find out. I really like working with the Satin, it has such a nice sheen and soft, silky feel.

It sounds like you have gotten a lot done! When you switch to doing the right front, it goes MUCH faster.
