I'm trying to knit the Knit Picks "Florida Bag". I think it should be easy but I've ripped out the first three rows four times already!
Here are what the directions say: Cast on 115
Row 1. *K3, P2 repeat *to end of row. I get that part..no problem.
Row 2. *K2, P3, Repeat from *to end of row.
Row 3. Repeat Row 1. (Rows 2 and 3 can also be summed up as knitting the purl stitches and purling the knit stitches). I know what that means too. Isn't that Seed Stitch?
Also on Row one I start out knitting three stitches...then when I get back to that after knitting the whole row and start Row 2 why am I only knitting TWO of those three knit stiches and then purling the "left over" knit stich and purling it along with two of the next stitches?
In other words in Row 2, why am I not just P3 and K 2?? Then it would BE knitting the purls and purling the knits? The directions sound like they are "breaking up" the stitches and its reading as very confusing to me.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
