can someone please look at this clanger pattern and tell me what to do?

[HowTheFillyjonkStoleChristmas]

ok am a bit stuck

can you nice people look here

am stuck on the "shape for bottom" bit.

right. last line says kn 6 rows of st st on each of these row of stitches

WHICH? the 18 on the needle at the end? or do i knit an underlined row then 6 ros ss?

am favouring the former, cos I think that works better with the k/p sequence, but...my grammar pedantry is then in rebellion.

OMG it is like a coded KGB message.
Hope someone can help you but have no idea either!! Sorry

Oh, oh oh.... OH! OHHH!!

I can't help with the knitting, but if someone can knit me a clanger I will pay them to. Seriously. Filly, when you get it sussed...???

this bloody clanger is taking me ages

it would NOT be ready for xmas, winestain. We are talking january at the latest. do you seriously want one?

(earliest that should have been...)

((((((((((((((((((clangers)))))))))))))))))))))

I cannot help you even the little tiniest bit, but I just wanted to muscle in on any thread that mentions Clangers

That would be fine Filly - his birthday is in March so it would be in plenty of time for that!

winestain, email me on [email protected] and we shall talk further...of wools and their properties

thanks for the vibes frank

can someone please HELP?

I HEART CLANGERS

how can you not acknowledge that as help?

It is bumping the thread, for a start

I am shocked at how huge this clanger is

I think its going to be easily a foot

and it uses at least twice the wool in the pattern, btw.

oh, even better!

I'm going to email you now

Ruddy HELL that is one large Clanger

there used to be a link on the Oliver Postgate site (I think) to a little old lady who would knit Clangers for you, she might be able to assist if still alive?

Ok I have failed to locate her

so will resort to random bragging instead

I have a Clangers grobag

and I have the "Noggin and the Moon Mouse" book in which a prototype Clanger first appeared

and I also found this on eBay

It looks like you're to knit six rows of stocking stitch for each set of stitches you still have otk. But I suck at following patterns, and also at 3d object construction, having been reduced to despair by merely reading slipper patterns ... hopefully someone better at this end of knitting will come along.

I have emailed you Filly

Doesn't Miaou do some rather spectacular slippers? She might be able to help.

The only thing I ever knitted was an elephant when I was at school and it had so many holes in it was unreal. Tragic really, as it was supposed to be stuffed. The teacher was very kind, and helped me make a felt one so at least I had something to take home after 6 weeks

Oh, I was going to say, "Ask Fillyjonk, she's knitting a Clanger!"
And then I scrolled down

Yes, completely agree with dizzyday- it's the legs, presumably. You'll have to reattach the yarn to the second block though, obviously.

I took myself out this morning and while the kids napped went over the instructions

I am so sorry, I noticed that there is in fact 2 sets of stitches. I dunno why I didn't spot that before.

am very

anyway. ta all.

ooooh, are you knitting me a christmas present??

Soupy, why are you on a break?

FEd up, sucking too much precious so called "me time", Am having a read-but-limited-posting-only break. No point kidding myself I'm going to give up completely!

It's much much less addictive if you don't post isn't it?
