I'll try her! And Lotti, we'll save that one for after Christmas if needed.

There is also a Ukranien member called Yalon? Might be able to help?

hello Lynn

if Galyna cannot help you, i have two possibiliies for you, but they would both need a little time...
one would be a friend of my mom's in Canada
The other would be one or other of the nice ladies at our Russian subsidiary, but they are rather busy this time of the year, but I know would be pleased to help us if given time.

Thank you thank you! This site is absolutely the BEST! Will do!

I haven't a clue but I have a suggestion:

There is a member here named Galyna. Her user name is Lyna56. I think she is from Russia and is a lovely lady. Perhaps you can PM her and ask if she can help. Tell her I sent you. LOL

Before you tell me I'm crazy! - This is a beautiful rug! Intriging. And I want to figure it out! ha

This pattern on this web site is in Russian (I think) and Google translated it (kind of) but it is still quite confusing and I WANT TO MAKE THIS!

If you speak or read any of the slavic languages, I think you might be helpful. Can you help?

The words most difficult are

provyazyvaya, and neprovyazyvaya and provyazyvayut

Here's the web site: http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/3855955/post155887683/

Here's the Google translation:

beautiful rug

(250x251, 11Kb) You can start with any item, but we'll start with one of the triangle.

The more we shall find the loop, the greater will be our carpet.
This brightly colored rug side hinge element 60, is our starting number.

So, we collect 60 loops
1st row - provyazyvayut 59 loops and 60th last loop leaving the spoke not provyazyvaya,
2nd row - we spoke on the 60th first-line loop, remove the 59th loop and knit remaining 58.
3rd row - knit 57 sts, 58th neprovyazyvaya leave (we have 3 loops "in balance")
Row 4 - the spoke has 3 loops should be removed, the remaining provyazyvayut

Thus, through a series we were binding on one loop less and we get a triangle on the diagonal of the triangle - neprovyazannye loop. There should be 60.

1st row - provyazyvayut these unclosed loops and add 60 at the end of one loop
2nd row - knit 60 sts, last provyazyvaya not leave,
3rd row - knit a row, at the end we add a loop.

When we typed 30 unclosed loops, on the other side, where we added, we start to diminish by closing one loop (close, otherwise there then formed holes). That is, we have to turn down both sides (one side close, on the other - not) while we will not have one loop.

Next we provyazyvayut 60 open loops on the side where we ONLY unbroken. Knit like the first triangle, subtracting loops on the side where we were 30 closed loops.
