Moving on...

Well, this is what the finished product looked like.

Glad my cat doesn't look like this.
It is doubtful that anyone would want to wear this. However, much was learned. I know that I can knit 3 together and was able to look up some new knitting terms.

Hopefully, the title is accurate
The next project should go much better.  Finally reading the beloved Elizabeth Zimmerman.  This was the only book they had at the library by her. Everyone seems to love her. After the last book, no tears while knitting sounds great.:-)

Seems unusual that there are no "projects" listed.  Let's hope things go well.

I stand corrected..

I looked in the Index of the book and found Jacquard Stockinette Stitch on p.32 on the book. This is what it said- "Follow the chart, twisting yarns together at each color change. After the last row, beg again with the 1st row."
Fortunately, since I am using all black, it isn't a problem.

Now onto the regular pattern.  After finishing the sole, I cast on 31 stitches and worked in stockinette stitch for 6 row.  Then is says "Cut the yarn. Put the 13 stitches at either end on the spare needles, and continue working only on the 5 stitches in the center to make the upper part of the bootie sock.  Yikes!!
Cut the yarn!! How to I work the stitches in the center if I have cut the yarn.  I will have to ask one of the people at the Yarning group in Jonesborough.
