long beach...

Long beach photos are coming - it was so pretty there; conference was...eh, a conference :). I'm in a knitting rut right now. My February lady sweater is still sitting on the dining room table waiting for me to fix the 3 rows I goofed up. I'm too scared to pull it out since it's lace. While in CA, I started the Tangled Yoke Cardi for the second time and was disappointed by the fact that I think I've made the same mistakes on the seam that I made the first time! Around the seams, the pattern is difficult to understand. After the decreases, do I just decrease the garter rib pattern or are you supposed to keep purl stitches on each side of the seam?? I have no idea what this is supposed to look like. I am tempted to make the sweater without the faux seams and save myself the headache. If anyone out there on the internetz has an idea about this, let me know! I'll also post in Ravelry land.
