Did you ever find out what your 8in purple mystery flower is? I’m searching images on the internet because the same plant just appeared in my garden. I’m not having much luck.

I know just how you feel! Nature can be memorizing. Beautiful pictures.

I can see that that is confusing.

Without having one of the scarves on the needles, I am pretty sure that I meant that this is the configuration on the knit-back row, right after you turn and before you knit back (I agree that the wording is not clear). As you say, this is the same as the stitches before and after the gap — the number of stitches should be equal at this point before and after the gap.

When I rewrite the pattern eventually, I will clarify that wording. Thanks!

I am finding the ending instructions confusing. after repeating the braid section (kfb, knit to one before the gap, ssk, turn and knit back to end of row) I would be at the begining of the row with all stitches on one needle, yet the instructions say I should have 1/2 the number of stitches on each needle. how is this possible. did you instead mean 1/2 the stitches before the gap and 1/2 after the gap? please help!

So the sentence you quote is just to alert the knitter when to stop the pattern as established (which is knit to the gap, SSK, turn and knit back). You stop that pattern when you have that number of stitches in that configuration on the needles. Instead of following the previously established pattern, on that row, you will knit until you get to the gap, SSK, and KEEP KNITTING to the end of the row. (written out stitch by stitch in the next sentence in the pattern, as “kf&b, k 22 assuming 36 stitches as written), SSK, but now continue knitting forward to the end of the row instead of turning the work (k11″)

Then you will turn at the end of the row as you normally would; kf&b, knit 10 as stated, SSK, and then turn work and knit back to create a new ‘gap’.

I believe I need to write out a row by row written pattern on 36 stitches as it would certainly make the pattern more clear. On my list of things to do when I have time!
