>Susoolu knows me so well! 5 minutes after finishing the Regia socks on Sunday evening I cast on for another pair. This time using Opal Rainforest in Tiger and the MagKnits pattern Jaywalker
Jaywalker in Tiger
So far so good I thought admiring the colours & the pattern until I realised that I had an odd number of stitches. Some how I’ve gone wrong on the end of the second round [between the two red lines] as that part of the pattern should be straight rather than pulling to one side & have so far lost 9 stitches 
Jaywalker in Tiger – mistake
What have I done wrong? I found that I didn’t have enough stitches to finish the last pattern repeat on the second row but the pattern does recreate the stitches which have been decreased – maybe I didn’t read it correctly.
I promised DH that I’d post a picture of the moon from our backgarden (for which he got the camera out & then got collared into taking knitty pics so late at night)

>OMG – Is that really the moon from your backyard?? What a great shot! It looks so different from our southern hemisphere moon. Love the opal tiger I’ll have to get my hands on some of that one day….:-) Stripey

>The tiger yarn looks great in that pattern! I actualy had some stitch count issues with the pattern too, but it all worked out in the end.

>Don’t talk to me about socks! You will have to show me the circular needle technique in Harrogate. The photo is great – he must have some serious zoom power on his camera!

>It looks like you’re omitting the increase at the end of the right side needle.
On 2 circs, on each needle, you should be doing 4 increases and two double decreases. One increase in the first stitch, one in each of the two middle stitches, and one in the last stitch.
That way, you’re increasing 4 stitches, and decreasing 4 stitches on each pattern row, so your count stays constant.

>Oh I think the tiger yarn looks great in that pattern! What a great idea!
Antimony has good advice – that’s exactly how I do the Jaywalker on two circs.
Can’t wait to see your progress. Thanks!
