I can't get a message through to the Customer Service at Interweave I am told my email address is not right I think its because I live in New Zealand.

I purchased a Jane Austen pattern "Pemberley Slippers" and I need some help with understanding the pattern.

This is my question is there any way I can get it to them through this post - thank you

I am not understanding the pattern to make my slippers. The pattern tells me to used a set of 5 double ended needles.  I am not sure whether I am using the set at the beginning 1st row or do I just use two needles, also do I knit one slipper at a time or the two together on the 5 needles so when do I start to use the 5 needles sorry I am very confused can you please help me.  Kind regards Andrea Beecroft New Zealand.

Hi Andrea,

I am a fellow knitter with, some info that might help you.  I have not knit these slippers, but, because the pattern is asking for you to  have a set of 5 DPs, you will be working one at a time with the stitches divided on 4 needels while you knit around with the 5th.  Meaning....use the 5th needle to knit the stitches off the 1st needle and then use the now empty needle to knit the stitches off the 2nd needle, etc. 

I would think that the pattern should state when casting on that it might say something like "cast X # of stitches divided on 4 DP needles and join...with the word join being the clue.  If this is true, you would be starting out right from the beginning knitting circularly with the DP needles. 

I hope that this helps you some to get going.  So many things become more clear once you cast on and start the knitting process.  Have fun, take a deep breath and dive into your knitting.

While it is important to have good writing skills, that is only part of writing a good article. Obviously you possess these skills, but you also have a special flair for informative writing. Well done.
