Hi, I'm wondering if you can help with with row 6?
at row 5, there are 15 sc make in one flower, then at row 7, the instruction is “sk next 2 sc, sc in next 13 sc, sk next 2 sc” doesn’t it make 17 sc?

sk next 2sc means skip 2 sc, isn’t it?
Thanks

Hi arcelia-
Sorry that you are having some troubles with this pattern. Lisa addressed this in another thread and I am going to copy/paste what another person asked and her response to it. Hopefully, that will answer your question also. If not let us know so we can try to clarify it for you.

The other person's question:

"In finishing row 5, the pattern says 30 sc. On row 6, it says, …sk next 2 sc, sc in next 13 sc, sk next 2 sc…ending up with two 13 sc-groups.
2+13+2= 17
Should it be sk 1 sc 13 sc, sk 1 sc? My pattern says version 1K."

Lisa's response:

"You are on right track. I think this comes down to interprtatation. Some people when working back on a row, will count the sc in the ch4lp sts and some do not. You are one of the latter. So if you count the last sc from the first dbl-ch4lp, and the first sc from the next trp-ch4lp, you will have plus the 5 in each of the 3 ch sps, you will have 17 sc all together in a row, which will make the row 6 instructions work.

Let me know if this makes sense?

Lisa"

hi carolyn60,

oo i see i see

i didn't count the sc in the ch4lp sts
now i get it, it makes sense if i count the sc in the ch4lp sts

btw, lisa is busy? before i posted here, i sent her message @ ravelry, but she didn't response, and i can't wait to finish this pretty shawl hehehe

you're really help me, thanks dear

Glad I could help and that it will get you on your way. This is a gorgeous shawl.

I think Lisa is in one of her designing stints. We don't hear from her for long stretches sometimes when she is on one of these, but amazing pattterns are usually the result of her abscence.

oow ^^

nice to know you carolyn60 btw, i've finished my shawl, i'm gonna upload it ^^ my mom loves it
