"I see that your comment is from 2018, so I hope you've found a good working method by now, but if you haven't here's my way of dealing with lace knitting. I use stitch markers between the repeats in the pattern. It helps to think of the YO and k2tog as a couple. Unless there's a decrease somewhere, they have to be somewhere together as a couple. Count your stitches after knitting each repeat until you get comfortable with the YO and k2tog stitches. I also use a Post-it note to follow along with a chart. Cover up everything except the row you are on. It takes a moment to readjust them after each row, but it saves me time in the long run when I lose my place in a chart. Best wishes!"

"How did you make it with the third line of the pattern instructing you to work 5 rows and end up with 7 stitches on row 9 with an increase row in between, it refers to the lace pattern at right, but there are no right and there are no at right instructions, just wondering how you completed it with what appear to be errors in the pattern?"

"Why calling it "all free knitting" if this pattern is on sale on the designer's ravelry account?"

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm not a fan of Star Wars.  I know nerds and geeks everywhere are probably shrieking right now, but I can't force myself to feel what isn't there!  Now that that's off my chest, I will also admit that I do love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings - and recently, Star Trek: Next Generation.  I'm also a huge sci-fi fan - whether it's books, movies or television shows, if it's science fiction, I'll check it out.  

 

That's what's great about Knit for Nerds by Toni Carr, even if you're not a fan of everything that's deemed "nerdy," you're bound to find something that appeals to you in this collection.  Knit yourself a laptop bag that conveniently converts into a chessboard.  After all, you never know when the mood for the ultimate chess match will strike you.  Got cold feet?  Knit your Tolkien-loving friend a pair of hairy hobbit slippers to keep toes perfectly toasty. 

 

Also included in this book, are patterns for socks, gloves, hats, legwarmers, bags and so much more!  While this book does a great job of providing nerdy inspiration from various television shows, movies and comic books, I wish at least one pattern would have been devoted to something from the X-Files. After all, I can't be the only closet nerd who is obsessed with Agents Scully and Mulder.

I wish it had said it was a review, but this was in the pattern section. There are no patterns. -(
