It's just lace!
(Um...sorry about the dog story. I giggled the whole way through writing it, and maybe I thought it was better than it was.)
I've purchased a skein of Euroflax linen and I am working on making Elisa's Nest Tote from the Purl Bee. Scandalously, I like the handles better than the Everlasting Bagstopper now on Knitty, and they are APPLIED I-CORD.
I was willing to tackle that...but...I can't seem to make a simple yo/k2tog - ssk/yo stitch pattern work. Line 1 is purl, line 3 is purl. 2 is yo/k2tog, line 3 is ssk/yo. No matter how many times I count the stitches on line 2 (41 as it should be) I am still coming out with 40 stitches after line 3. I can't see where I don't have a yarnover.
I've knitted the same two rows three times. I'm trying once more today. I should be able to do this! It's just lace.
(ETA: I was forgetting the last yo before the knit stitch on row 4. Fixt!)

Plesse don't be sorry about the dog story. I loved it and the dog is precious. The corn cob part brought back memories of my first Airedale Terrier - Brandy. She got into a garbage bag of corn cobs and ate them. I think she threw them up for a week and I got sick a couple of times with her - it was so gross. And then there was the bag of dirty diapers... and I need not say any more!
YIPES!!!!
*shuddering*
Should not read comments! Lol.
Hmmmmm. Knitted bags. I should try one sometime. The non-felted kind, I mean, but I have a different one in mind, I admit, with bamboo rings for handles.
I loved the crazy dog story- anyone with pets would!! Hang in there with the mysterious yarn-overs!
I did that with a baby hat once. After 5 attempts, I decided it wasn't meant to be!
Did you figure out that stitch yet? The last stitch on Row 4 would be a yo - how I don't know - you might have to do it like a purl yo. Is that the 41st stitch?
You'll get the right stitch count eventually. Lace can be finicky, but by the 4th or 5th repeat, you'll be sailing through the pattern.
