Berroco Along Anyone?I've started Badia from Berroco today. I'm using Wendy Pure bamboo in shade Forget-me-not. It's darker when it's knit up (a bit like emulsion when it dries darker than it looks in the can ). Here's progress so far (I'm not good at lacy knitting however easy the pattern says it is  & there's a mistake on row 3  ) If any of the experts can shed light on how to 'yo' immediately before a purl, I'd appreciate it

Please feel free to join in with any of their lovely patterns
(eta. the mistake is in the pattern not my knitting any longer...I frogged it back when I found it, this is the second go.) |

That's looking lovely.
I do a YO before a purl like this: bring yarn forward as if to purl,..... then Over RH needle (to the back over the top of the needle) and forward again (as if to purl), then purl next stitch. I wonder if that makes sense

Oh that yarn looks divine!!!!!! And your knitting looks so neat. I really love the look of that yarn!, did I say I like that yarn?

I like the look of that yarn too, gilraen! It looks like a tape on the ball but when it's knitted up it just looks like a normal yarn. It is a fab colour, too. I wonder if it would work for the Ruffled Surplice in Interweave Spring 2007.... |

I cannot buy yarn until payday, but this yarn is calling to me..............
I love the way this is knitting up but I'm not keen on the neckline so I'll look again at Berrocos patterns and maybe...............
