No, "cont even" does not mean to work even numbered rows. "Cont even" means
"continue even", which is a very common knitting term. You will find this
in MANY knitting patterns. Continue even means to keep working with the
same stitch pattern that has been established. If you have been working in
stockinette, keep working in stockinette. If you have been working seed
stitch, keep working seed stitch. In our Bernat Ankle Socks pattern, we
will just keep knitting stockinette - knit every row.
this is a great video I never could understand how to read a sock pattern
and turn a heel until I watched your video. Here's to lots more socks in
the future. :-) Thanks Sandy.
I don't know why my post is doubled, I only submitted once. Anyway, that
worked!!! No ladders!!! I have tried every method on the net and nothing
worked until this one. I am knitting thigh-high socks for my daughter and
"ladders" were not an option. Thanks so much!
@justcookinmmm If you have 20 stitches on each needle you don't always
deposit it on stitch #10 or else that is where you will be creating your
ladder. Deposit it anywhere from stitch #5 to stitch #15 and the loose
stitches won't stack to make a ladder.
@newsong80 No, I'm just stretching the stitches more than normal. The
flexing between needles pulls that bar loose, stretching the stitches pulls
the bar tight and then you deposit that back somewhere in the center.
Trying to understand: Are you grabbing the loose bar between the needles
with the first stitch on the 2nd needle (knitting them together) and then
knitting the rest of the stitches on that needle?
@NerdyCanadian I just pull it tight around the cable for ML. When the
needle comes back around it takes the slack from between the rows. But this
way should work for all ladders.
@umbetta1 That's exactly what it is ... sort of. It's my homemade version
of a strand guide. Knitpicks has a couple of similar Yarn Stranding Guides
for $1.19.
