im so frustrated..i just cant understand the knit charts. i've learned to read written out patterns really well (i'm a nooby btw) but knit charts just confuse me.

[ravensky23]

@pheonixphire I know it can be frustrating. What helped me is I was used to reading charts for counted cross-stitch. Start with a very simple pattern for lace. Say something that is just a 10 or 12 stitch repeated pattern and make a scarf. Keep it simple and small and by the end of the scarf a light will come on and you'll get it. Hang in there!

It wouldn't say k1 k1 k1 k1 k1 k1 k1 k1 k1, it would say k9...

[ravensky23]

@bubblebuffy Agreed, that is how it would be written out, but when I first started I had a hard time with knowing the number was how many times you did the statch so I thought newbies might appreciate the instruction. I shoudl have mentioned that K9 woudl be the appropriate way. Thanks.

[KrissyKnits]

what kind of yarn were you using in this video? i just love the color.

[gabbie3939]

I noticed that you knit like I do. I go through the back of the loops rather than the front. I wish you could show how you do a SSK.
