Ripple help
I have ran into a spot of bother with my latest WIP remember this post? Its the ends they are working into a decrease instead of straight! Any ideas anyone and help? I feel disheartened to try again as it was tricky to start with :(
Hi looks to me like you might be forgetting to make the first stitch after your initial chain-3 at the beginning of each row...this extra stitch kind of ends up making an increase V at the beginning before you go on and tr 4 etc etc...does that make sense? The same at the finish...you must remember at teh end of each row to make an increase v stitch (ie 2 tr's) into the top of the chain-3 from the previous row. without these xtra stitches at either end, your work will decrease. Hope this helps lucexxxx
Thank you Lucie for taking time to come over and look. I had a closer inspection and you are right , as i was undoing the old piece pictured here i made a mess of it and now i have started a new piece and lets see what happens.
