making knots with sticks
Corkscrew scarf is coming along nicely - I've skipped out the wrapping of stitches 
but think it still looks ok... it's taking bloody ages though 
(I've been knitting a lot with big wool recently, so expect things to grow quicker than this 
).
Gloves (on dpn) have been put on hold, because I'm a bit scared of what to do when I get to the thumb hole (I will be back for help on that) and I also need to make a start on a little vest for my niece, and finish a scarf for me!

making knots with sticks
I want to start knitting a vest for my niece next week, but I’m stuck on the first set of instructions Can someone shed some light?
There are 5 different sizes listed, I’m going for the 2nd (6-12 months).
Instructions:
Cast on 39 (43: 47: 53: 57) sts using 4.5mm needles
I’m ok with that part – I would cast on 43 stitches.
Row 1 (RS): K1(3: 0: 3: 0), *P2, K3, rep from * to last 3 (0: 2: 0: 2) sts, P2 (0: 2: 0: 2), K1 (0: 0: 0: 0)
This is where I get stuck - does it mean I K3, P2, K3 to the end of the row?
Cheers

moose and aqua...
You've both made this corkscrew scarf... how long did you make it?
I really want to stop now, it's getting tedious going back and forth (and giotto is bloody fiddly to knit with) - it's about 1m if I hold it dangling off the needle.. please say not much longer

Near where I live (er..vauxhall!) there's a fantastic shop called IKnit. Lovely fellas in there knitting away and you can go in to knit or chat or just hang out. Love it.
