I know a spiral doesn’t actually have rounds but, for the purposes of shaping this thing, we need to impose rounds on it!<br /><br />So, having put your safety pin in, continue as follows:<br /><br /><strong>*Work one 8 stitch ridge (K8, w&t and knit back)</strong><br /><br /><strong>Work one 10 stitch joining ridge (K9, sl 1, pick up and K1, psso, turn and knit back.</strong><br /><br />Repeat from * until you get back to your safety pin.<br /><br /><strong>----------------------------------------------------</strong><br /><br /><strong>Part 1:</strong><br /><a href="http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/rachels-knitting-room-november-2010.html">http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/rachels-knitting-room-november-2010.html</a><br /><br /><strong>Part 2:</strong><br /><a href="http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/rachels-knitting-room-november-2010_16.html">http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/rachels-knitting-room-november-2010_16.html</a><br /><br /><strong>Part 3:</strong><br /><a href="http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/rachels-knitting-room-november-2010_17.html">http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/rachels-knitting-room-november-2010_17.html</a>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14192672661417877521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529414.post-57383068626031906132010-11-17T08:52:00.003-05:002010-11-17T08:59:46.764-05:00<div align="center"><strong>Rachel's Knitting Room</strong></div><div align="center"><br /><strong>November 2010 Mystery Knit Along</strong></div><div align="center"><br /><strong>Wednesday, November 17, 2010</strong></div><div align="center"><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">PART 3</span> - Getting Ready to Work the Spiral</strong></div><div align="center"><br /><strong>PROGRESS PHOTOS POSTED:</strong></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15226377@N07/"><strong>http://www.flickr.com/photos/15226377@N07/</strong></a></div><div align="center"><br /><strong>----------------------------------------------------</strong></div><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><div align="left"><br /><strong>In the words of the designer:</strong></div><strong>----------------------------------------------------</strong><br /><br /><strong>Things You Need To Know:</strong><br /><br />• Throughout this pattern I refer to ridges rather than rows.
