a little question or two
Hello everyone - Bonne Marie here -
I thought it would be fun to share some of the questions people have emailed me with about the Ariann Pattern.
First Up - from Lauren: " How exactly is the buttonhole worked?"
My all time favorite Buttonhole is one I found here:
http://knitting.about.com/library/weekly/aa123100.htm
I use the directions for Buttonhole #4.
This is a one -row operation and has beautiful, smoothly bound-off edges, both top and bottom. I work, for the gauge of Ariann, a 3 stitch buttonhole.
Note: Since the buttonband is knit-as-you-go, these are worked every few inches. I mark the row of the last worked buttonhole and count rows up as I work to know where the next one goes. For instance, if I'm making a buttonhole every 4 inches, that's (according to gauge of 6 rows per inch) - 4 inches times 6 rows = a buttonhole every 24 rows. Be sure to adjust if your row gauge is different.

A couple of people have written me about this - the version of Acrobat Reader on your computer might be making the mischief!

you can update your version of Acobe Acrobat Reader for free and the issues should disappear.

Thanks for the info on the buttonholes, Bonne Marie. For CeCe I used the directions we got at last year's Stitches class "10 Things that Make or Break a Sweater" but I think I will check out the link you provided to see if it is a little easier to follow.
