Dear Mrs Syrjala, in XL you start ribbing edge with 312 sts but then you should decrease to 245 sts after ribbing - but we are unfortunately not able to adjust every pattern to every single request, if you yarn store couldn't help you might find help with any knitting forum where other knitters can help you adjusting to your own measurements; Happy knitting!

It's very sad that you went to so much expense of time & storage to even make these videos. This one in particular obviously had audio, but it's not there now. If you can't find the audio tracks, you might as well take the videos down one by one and remake them WITH the audio. The patterns are gorgeous but since your tutorials are no help, I'll have to just muddle my way through. I am posting about this issue on my blog.

Dear Pat. Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people around the world, speaking different languages, many of whom do not understand English. you always have to read the written pattern at the same time to understand how to work as in the video. Happy knitting!
