sooooooooooooo bought a whole heap of knitting needles for a few quid from local buy sell swap site with a view to keeping hands busy and knitting myself a jumper - got the pattern and the wool - all bargains
....... cast on my 127 stitches - did the rib then my 6 rows of ss - then
K5B - never heard of this - you tubed it and simples -albeit a little faffy but only 1 row in 12 so no big deal - did the next row and came to last 8 stitches as im ribbing up the sides also and im a stitch too many - blagged that and then tried to see where the error was - failed - recounted the whole lot and i now have 153 stitches ----------------------------

K5B or knit 5 at the back of the stitch instead of the front?
Sounds as if you've increased stitches by knitting the back AND front of the stitches.
Sounds like you gonna have to frog it... ie...rip it, rip it...
Go onto ravelry. There are really helpful knitters who have been where you are and have bought the t shirt.
Good luck! |

Knitting is easy.
step 1 go buy a knitted jumper
step 2 buy some wool same colour
step 3 remove all labels from jumper
step 4 pretend you made it yourself
