    I have knitted this up twice now and there seems to be some purl stitches missing in between the motifs to separate them ?

    Yes, I didn’t state it very clearly but the pattern is for a panel of 9 in a background of stockinette stitch, you can separate it by as many purl stitches as you like.

    Just the cable I needed to incorporate with a 42 stitch main cable for a shawl I’m knitting. Yeah. Now, I can get going. Excited!
