AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!






so, i bought Plymouth Yarn pattern #2077 for $5.95 because i was too lazy to do the math
the pattern is WRONG!!

size med
SO,this is how the pattern is written - my math shows that IF you follow row 1 - you end up with 78 stitches NOT 76

on size 8 needles,cast on 68 st - K1P1 for 9" ~ switch to size 10 needles
1. YO, k23, yo, k1, place marker, yo, k10, yo, k1, pm, YO, k23, yo, k1, place marker, yo, k10, yo, k1, pm (76 st)
2. Knit around, slipping markers
3. *YO, knit to 1 st before marker, YO, k1, YO, sm, repeat around (84 st)
4. Knit around, slipping markers

repeat row 3 & 4 for a total of 228 stitches


so, since i have to correct their math, i mite as well change it so the increases do NOT form holes because of the YO

sleeves would be 13 st - so body & sleeve would be 38, so body would be 25,

so THEREFORE to do it the way I want w/no holes BECOMES

1. K1, M1R, K21, M1L, K1, M, K1, M1R, K9, M1L, K1, M,K1, M1R, K21, M1L, K1, M, K1, M1R, K9, M1L, K1, M (76 st)
2. knit around, slipping markers
3. K1, M1R, knit to 2 stitches before marker, M1L, K1, M, repeat around (84 st)
4. knit around, slipping markers


i'm hoping it just a lousy pic - the sleeves don't appear to be the same legnth on the pattern pic either

JJJEEEZZZEEE!!!
