errata: Beware of faulty numbering on chart 3 of the Spanish version in Muestras y Motivos. There should be 194 rounds total, and not 190 rounds. Besides the faulty numbering, the chart is ok.

Don’t ask me how I know….

There is a mistake in the written instructions as well. You have to move the marker 1 stitch to the left to work the S2KP on rows 187 and 193 according to the real actual numbering. That corresponds to rows 183 and 189 as stated on the faulty chart and is referred to as rows 199 and 205 in the written instructions!?!

Oh and yes, if you start with casting on 6 stitches as recommended, please start on row 1 of chart 1 (and not on row 3 as stated in the instructions) because after chart 2 you’ll end up with 50% less stitches you need to continue with chart 3 and then, you’ll have to start over again.

You should have 12 petals (and not 6), be them the small in the center, the medium in the middle and/or the large ones before the mesh.

Lost in translation?

Again, don’t ask me how I know…. Just listen to the advice.

pattern specs:
Finca 4/c = approx. diam. 149 cm/59” MYM
Liana 10 = approx. diam. 179 cm/70.5”

Jumping in!

28/06/11: Up to row 44. Not bad!
29/06/11: Row 68! Good start!
6/7/11: graph 2 - 21g for 11” diameter (133g leftover - 28g with needle + 2 rows)

Hey, this goes waaaaaay too fast.

Bug: I don’t know how I did it, but I didn’t start right (must be the misleading Spanish instructions), and I am now with a piece 50% scaled too small. Since there is no stitch count info in pattern, I just realized this booboo when I was ready to start graph 3. This is the greatest knitting brain fart I ever managed to accomplish, but at least, I’m not the one to blame. Geez. I guess this one is going to be a doily or else, it’s going to hit the frog pond.

2nd take: Let’s start over!

28/7/11: graph 2 - 41g for 15 1/2” diameter

8/08/11: I’m at row 114 on 190 with 576 stitches. Still a long way to go.

9/08/11: graph 3 - row 116 - 64g - 23” diameter
(86g including needles) - (83g leftover)

15/8/11: graph 3 - row 135 - 94g - 24” diameter, but gotta revert to row 116 because I skipped a row. Because of the faulty numbering. Followed my trusted row counter instead of my marked placed on the chart.
:(
Boohoo, lost 1 week of work.

28/8/11: graph 3 - row 154 - 127g - 26 1/2” diam (29g leftover)

31/8/11: graph 3 - row 176 - 147g/1000m - 28” diameter - 161g with needle - (0g leftover) - joining 2nd ball (ripped project)

4/9/11: graph 3 - row 192 - 176g/1200m - 6.25oz/1095yds- 29” diameter - 195g with needle - (118g leftover)

5/9/11: crochet bind-off - 10 slip stitches on 1.75mm - 182g/1240m - 6.44oz/1356yds- 29” diameter - (113g leftover)

Wow, this was such a marathon. I just can’t wait to cast on another one.
