Would you help me to understand how to count stitches in chart knitting for socks...?
I'm missing something in my understanding of how exactly I ought to go about counting stitches when executing a repetitive pattern. as in this diagonal lace pattern: http://media.wendyknits.net/media/diagonallacesock...
i.e I'm working the diagonal lace pattern (or attempting to)
I have the 33 stitches on each needle (for the medium sock)
I initiate the medium lace chart pattern row one, I can continue this through the next two, but I seem to run out of stitches by the time I get to the 4th time of knitting the pattern. I purl, knit, yo (where it appears one stitch from the base turns into 2..if I understand the concept correctly). I get to the ssk (where two stitches turn into 1 on the right needle..If I'm understanding it correctly). then I proceed to knit the next four stitches. seemingly this is no problem, until I'm asked to repeat this pattern a fourth time and well I'm not left with enough stitches on my left needle to complete even the pattern and purl for the end. Am I not counting something correctly or misunderstanding how to work it? I tried a simpler pattern and anytime I get a k2tog, or ssk (I'm using more stitches than the allotted 8 or whatever the particular pattern calls for). It's like in this particular pattern ssk seems to take up the 4th and 5th available stitches in the 8 stitch pattern (then I use 9 per pattern and run out when I get to the 4th repetition...)
please help, I really want to learn to do this, I just am trying to do a swatch so I can get it down and get back to socks.

4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoAre there any Arab Christians with the last name Hussein? (ramadan related question)?
I was just wondering because I wished someone with the same last name a blessed holiday (for Ramadan) and didn't actually know if they were a Muslim or not, so I hope I didn't put my foot in my mouth.
2 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoThere is a new being in my surrounds, what do you think?
The other day an unusual white cat (with orangish ears and tail) cam upon my property. I didn't get a great feeling about it/metaphysical like. I have not fed it, it's likely to be hunting mice in the fields, but it's still hanging out. We have had cats before, so it's not like I don't want them, just this one is unusual. Any ideas?

5 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agocan you help me find this pin code, or does this persons query make sense?
what is the zip code or postal code of rajasthan(india... plz give me right answer.?
i want immdiately zip code or postal code of rajasthan , pali-marwar,,jaipur,ajmerin rajasthan.
plz help me i want it soon . (from bhavik d)
my answer: jaipur, rajasthan - 303 011, its a large place and could be any number of pin codes
also 201 001
pali marwar, rajasthan - 306 401 marwar city in pali district in rajasthan is 306 001
the ajmer you are looking for could be also 305 001 (that is in the district of ajmer) or 302 006(this is ajmer road in the district of jaipur)
they are called pin codes
It is difficult to tell, I don't think you have the entire address and it seems like many different cities/districts in the state of rajasthan. Do you have the specific address? and do you know the road, city and state specifically because ajmer could also be a road and not a city. http://www.indiavilas.com/indiainfo/pincodes.asp?v...
