I think one of them had the 0 at the top of the number keypad, above the 8. Some such thing might have caused a typo of 7 for 0.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-44530995589759186562015-12-07T23:46:13.620+00:002015-12-07T23:46:13.620+00:00Oops of cause meant "won't" in regar...Oops of cause meant "won't" in regards to time to knit it !

All knitters gauge varies so much it is possible that the designers gauge is a lot looser in the cable area and is tighter in the border. That would be unusual as most people have to go up a needle size when cabling but everyone is different. Her border does look flat tho not ruffled. Sometimes knitters will design an item then write the pattern so have reverse engineer it. This would account for a small variation if counting after the event but this seems way to much for that! I will read with interest any response you may get.<br /><br />Regards from the other side of the world .<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997730202330714958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-72575043964836917182015-12-07T20:53:28.150+00:002015-12-07T20:53:28.150+00:00I hope everything went well for you today, medical...I hope everything went well for you today, medically.

She used the 104 sts that were available and still found that it ruffled. Sounds odd having to pick up so much more when the cable centre already draws in next to plain stockinette if you have an equal number of stitches. I think you'll be more than safe carrying on with your live stitches.The Provisional Kitchenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279392625879801689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-85396444462224204352015-12-07T12:09:33.963+00:002015-12-07T12:09:33.963+00:00I wondered if the Dunfallandy border is supposed t...I wondered if the Dunfallandy border is supposed to be ruffled?

I noticed that several Dunfallandy projects on Ravelry mention that picking up 174 stitches seems wrong. I'd go with 104. Knitters who trusted the directions ended up with a ruffled border.
