The three snags I hit (purely from skimming instead of reading and comprehending the pattern) were: 1) you alternate increase/decrease rounds with plain rounds, 2) the decrease looks right if you (slip 1 as if to knit) twice, K1, pass 2 slipped stitches over knit stitch, and 3) pay attention to the decreases at the gusset so the foot fits snuggly enough as there are fewer stitches on the plain bottom than the zig-zag top. I'm sure other people have had other challenges, but the pattern is really very clear and accurate if you just read carefully and follow instructions! Now ask me if I can follow a recipe exactly!auntiemichalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13597763292883088168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11517267.post-53718252320917694442007-05-19T12:41:00.000-07:002007-05-19T12:41:00.000-07:00Tressa, Pepper's an Oregon Grass Snake!

My cat also loves to roll around in the grass (or a patch of sun) but his orange and white fur prevent him from ever blending in. :)<BR/><BR/>I've knit one pair of socks in my entire life. I just cast on the first sock of my 2nd pair. Maybe one day I'll have to courage to try to knit Jaywalker socks. They look intimidating.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594592238907320492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11517267.post-10389045593902555332007-05-18T18:00:00.000-07:002007-05-18T18:00:00.000-07:00OOOHHH!!!Look, a (insert state) Cat Snake. they'r ...OOOHHH!!!Look, a (insert state) Cat Snake. they'r rare.
