I have been reading and rereadig Knitting By Nature since I bought it with my dads xmas book tokens! I love it, so itelligent and inspiring! I am having a little trouble with the Asymmetrical Cardigan I wonder if you can help at all please? All my left k2 stitches are perfect, but the right direction K2s all but disappear, clearly I am doing something wrong though I have tried many variations on the theme in an attempt to make them as protuberant as the leftgoig ones. Could you show me how to do it? yours immeasurable gratefully
Julie

I actually think you must be right. I am thinking that the error I made was in the counting of the rows. I will pull it out and start again. I just love the yarn and the pattern.

When you have too many rows the piece is pointy. When you have too few the piece is ruffly. Every yarn is different. It depends on the ratio between sts and rows.

I made my first hexagon, however, it had a giant point coming out the center when I cast off! Please, tell me what did I do wrong? and suggestions for fixing it would be appreciated! I love the Jasper yarn. My hexagon actually looks like a pointed hat, or something Madonna might have worn in days gone by.

Made two for xmas. one for sister and for a niece. they both loved them. I am now making one for myself. Liked the hexs, could make them one at a time and put them together all at once. easy to take along with me on trips.
enjoy all of your designs.

I made the sweater for my mom for Christmas. I liked it because I could easily get a hex done each day and it felt like I was always making progress. I made it out of Keltic, though, because I got a really good deal on it at my LYS. Went up a needle size, down two sizes in the pattern and it all worked out swell. My mom loved it.

Thanks for coming up with such fun, innovative designs!

I too have been experimenting with hexagons and half hexagons. Currently I am experimenting with them for both cuff down and toe up socks which started with a another yarn companies design contest aand I want to see how the design works out in other yarns including my own handdyed homepun ones. But hexagons and other shapes are a blast to play with and see how they can be shaped into new designs and ways of constructing garments. I have some of your purple Lavender Mix
6283 Ultra Alpaca I’m going to try a pair of cuff down socks with. I’ll let you know how that works out. Though Jasper or some other yarn with distinicive striping patterns would make it more interesting–hexs are a bit more dynamic with multi colors than just solids.
