When you are reading the pattern in the I like Knitting Fan Club web page the charts do not appear! When you go to print you can see the words charts need to be downloaded but you can’t access that from the knitting page so maybe when everyone keeps saying that can’t find the charts it would be better to investigate why so many people are asking the same question instead of repeating the same answer which does not help anyone to access the pattern! This is a great pattern as a Gold Member I truly wish myself and the others could access it. I apologize I’m not trying to be nasty just thought you should know why everyone is asking.
Anywhere but bed watching TV is great

Everywhere. I get the most comments when I’m knitting in church though.
Near the fireplace or tv in my rocker. Rather cliche I suppose haha.
These days, I enjoy knitting in front of the fireplace with my Christmas tree lit up.
My most favourite place to knit is wherever I am with knitting needles.
On knitting needles, wherever I am is my favorite place to knit.

That’s a toss up between the passenger seat when the hubby is driving or the loveseat in the front room. 🙂

Cannot download to my iBook, can you demonstrate how to? Thanks.
Is there a scarf pattern and If so , how can I get it?
I don’t understand how to use the charts. For hat…work next 80 stitches from chart….etc. etc. Maybe it is too hard to explain.
Cant wait to knit your beautiful hat. Many thanks.
Do you not offer your patterns in pdf format to make it easier for us to save?
Got all the necessary info but it will not print the picture of the finished article. Can you help?
website follow on from above/?mqsc=SOLOCAFK093015 There was no chart included in this pattern. lovely hat
I think I’ve figured it out! Thanks!
Hello there…thanks for the pattern. I love the design. It seems, though, that there are 4 too many stitches. Now that I am on Row 10 of Chart A (1st of two completions of 1-18), the alignment is not correct. Maybe I have done something wrong? Please advise, thanks!
the actual pattern seems to be missing?

Hi Betty,

please clarify:
1. “Repeat, working Rounds 1-18 of Chart A 2 times, then rounds 1-9 one time, repeating highlighted portion 4 times. ”
If you repeat rounds 1-18 twice and then rounds 1-9 once, isn’t that a total of 45 rounds?
2. “Work Rounds 37-54 of Chart B 1 time, repeating highlighted portion 3 times. (120 sts)” How does repeating highlighted portions of rounds 37-54 three times cover the 80 stitches of the pattern after round 37? In fact, round 37 seems only to cover 79 stitches.
The chart does not appear when I printed.
