Well I'm currently trying to finish off this:

That's gorgeous!
But...I think that pattern might drive me to drink.

Hi Lori,
I'm sure once you get into the 'swing of it', it wont take 10 years.

Can't imagine how that might be.

Not my style personally, but it looks quite easy to knit.

NOOOOO! I'll stick to my v-neck ta muchly!

Yeah, it's already  moving more quickly...but the issue is that I've grown  accustomed to the instant gratification that comes from making doll cardigans.

It's actually quite an easy pattern as long as you can handle a cable needle.

I'm working with a cable needle right now, as a matter of fact.  Last night, I had put the 2 stitches on the cable needle and then lost track of it, I guess.  Looked down a few minutes later, and there was the cable needle with its 2 stitches hanging out about 20 stitches back.

Ooops! That'll mess up the pattern a bit.

I can knit, but i'm not very good at following patterns (havent really tried many times tbh) I did learn to crochet last year and made 2 blankets for baby when i preg, one day in town 4 different people 3 of which were strangers commented on how nice my baby's blanket was (yes i'm blowing my own trumpet) When i say i made it they look at me strange cos i'm not 50 lol

 ! What is this strange code ?! 
*scurries back to non-knitter land*

PSSO means to pass a slipped stitch over without knitting it, and then pass it back over.

You're just loving this thread aren't you?  It's all total gobbledegook to me TBH!

Does it show?

Finally...a thread I understand!

On Daybreak this morning they showed a newspaper article about knitting the royal wedding. 

Knittings gone global!!!

How atr you getting on Trollop, finished yet?

I was looking at that Cinds. Not because I want to knit the Royals but because I want some patterns for little dolls that have features knitted as part of the face rather than just embroidered on afterwards.
I have issues

Hello ladies


I know have a front and a back! How good am I . I even sussed out the v-neck! I am about to start sewing together so I can knit the band around the v neck.


can some please explain 'P2 tog tbl' to me?!! Why is it different from just purling 2 stitches together?

Also and please dont laugh  When the pattern says to join the right shoulder seam...does it mean as you look at it or as you would wear it?  Its been a long few weeks!

Wow, Trollop, good for you!!
"tbl" means "through the back loop". You know how you usually purl through the front loop? Well, this is a teensy bit different.
Here's what I'd do: I'd go to Super-Extra-Expert Google and type "P2 tog tbl", and get a video to show you how! That's how I learned how to cable cast-on!

I don't think that's a silly question at all...although I'm not sure why it would make a difference.
*waits for someone else to weigh in*

Helpful as usual, eh, Blizzy?

I'm imagining Trollop and his Mrs, after a few more weeks months years of his 'projects'! 

  Lizzie Oblong you'll go over my knee!

Thanks Lori I will check out the tubey place!

If I lay the front of the jumper to the back i have to join the right shoulder seam only then pick up the stitches on the v neck. If i look at it the right seam when worn is the left one! Why doesnt it makes a difference?  

If 'twere me, I'd do the right shoulder as if I were wearing it. But, that's just me, a non-expert.

something terrible happened to trollop

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Can't quote - I'm not a knitter but I'd go with Lori on this!

So. There you have it. Two thoroughly expert opinions for you.

And my helpful picture! 

Yes, the right shoulder is YOUR right shoulder. Put the two pieces together Knit sides together and sew the seam that would bo over YOUR right shoulder.

Hope this helps with the P2tog tbl

I wish we could have knitting related trigger words on here 

trollop still looks confused ...

That looks sort of like a close up picture of a bed bug to me. TBH
