Is it supposed to be the front and the upper part of the back? Also, I am a little confused as to where to attach the yarn to get it eventually to look like diagram 3. (Actually, to be honest, I am not even sure what diagram 3 is supposed to be. The sleeves are confusing me too, actually. C. I have gotten the thing to look like diagram 2.

When one tests something they should at least email you. I think it is great that you are sharing your work. :) Perhaps the tester above is just coming off badly? I hope so. I love you sleepy cat!

I'm sorry the diagrams aren't as helpful as I had hoped they would be. You sound very frustrated and it may be that I should just take the pattern down. Someone had asked me to write it up and I did the best I could. I'm in the midst of exam prep right now and don't have the time to redraw diagrams until probably mid-February. A was not the same length as B for me but could be if you are making a longer sleeve or you have sized it down several inches around. A is the sleeve. B goes all the way from the front right of your breastbone around your back to the front left of your breastbone. That is why you start with a chain long enough to go around that area. If I'm understanding where you are, you have the front of the right sleeve and a long strip. If you hold the front of the right sleeve up to the front of your right arm and the right side of your chest you should be able to wrap the long strip around your ribcage, behind your back and have it come around to the left front just below your bustline. Row 8 is the row before you chained 25 for the first sleeve. If you go the opposite end of that row - the end opposite where you chained 25 for the first sleeve - that is where the second sleeve starts. If you have the long piece around your ribcage it would be the end touching the left side of your breastbone. In my personal experience, the phrase "work in pattern" means work as the previous rows indicated were worked inclusive of turning chains. That is the model I was following. Again, I'm sorry for your trouble. I’m sorry you’re having difficulty. I’m sorry the diagrams aren’t as helpful as I had hoped they would be.

I have started this pattern and am STUCK. Am I missing something? At what point do I make the matching left side? Your drawn pictures do not adequately describe what's happening. You need to provide a written description in addition to this pattern. What do you mean, "Go back to the opposite side of Row 8..." Just exactly where is that? My initial rows 1 through 22 do not look like your drawn diagram. (My A is the same width as my B.) Just what are those first 8 rows? When do they come into play? Also, I ASSUMED that you intended to say "Ch. 2. Turn." at the end of each row. Your pattern should so indicate, so that I don't have to assume anything. Thanks for your help. I love the esc stitch. is this home address? or E-mail?
