[...] The pattern is very pithy ala EZ because I’m not so great at writing patterns. I really need some people to take a look at it and give it a test knit. I wrote the process out while I was knitting the gloves and filled in the (very little) detail later. If you knit these, please let me know. Let me know if you find any errors. I’d also like to have better photos for the pattern page. I also have the pattern listed in Ravelry so you can link it to your queue or project page. You can find the pattern here. [...]

hi,
i’ve started the mittens and i think there may be an error in the lace pattern directions. row three leaves me with thirteen stitches where–i’m assuming–i should still have eighteen. i just did a hat using this lace pattern and i’m going to cross check the pattern with yours to see if i can figure it out. you’ll probably see what i mean and figure it out first, though, so let me know if i was on the right track or spaced out!
thanks,
kate

hi!
actually, i just figured it out! you just need brackets around YO, K1, eg. [YO, K1] 6 times. glad i got that squared away. i’ll let you know how they turn out!
