Request for Symbol Legend
I've had a few requests for symbol legends - I think this could be very helpful and not a violation of copyright. (Basically because you'd have to have the pattern for the symbols to make sense.)
If anyone would like to send me notes on the symbols, or however you want to get them to me - I can make up some pretty charts and pretty pictures and put them up here.
I've also received a translation of the sentences at the top of the pattern and will be posting it shortly.
Thank you in advance.
Best,
Cara

A legend of the symbols and how to knit them? Tata-Tatao lists the majority of common ones used in Japanese pattern books. Along with the instructions on how to knit them. I think the only one missing in regard to Am Kamin are the various flying fish symbols. I linked to some of the ones that knitters had questions on. And I have a link to another site with illustrations for the flying fish stitches.
Go to "BubbleGumKnits's Symbol Translation Tips." You have it linked to your site. And refresh your browser.

I'm not sure how everyone is using this blog - i.e. how they are posting and choosing a category?
When this all started I got perplexed because it seems that folks were talking about two different sweaters and that there are now two different groups. Now that I'm sure I'm working on the right sweater, I can't remember which sweater some of my early note related to.... AAAUUUGGGHH.
So,I am ready to cast on and have a couple of questions: Is everyone starting on the back or with the a front? At the bottom of chart J (page 70), the bottom 3 rows relate to the cast on edge - not counting the blank squares. Is that correct?
The actual pattern seems to start on line 4 (the one with the fish). Correct?
The back requires a cast on of 138 or 139?
Has anyone (bravely) considered putting together a set of line by line written instructions?

This one--it's already fallen off the bottom of the page so click on archives for January 2005 over to the right on the main page of this blog. Then scroll down to the post mentioned above. HTH

CAra, you mentioned posting a translation of the top of the page instructions. Are you still planning on doing this?
