Dear fellow knitters,

I am going to be travelling to China this August and wanted to know if there is anything that you would recommend to visit as a knitter and crafts enthusiast. I will be spending my days in Beijing and Shanghai. I will also visit Xi'an and Zhangjiajie. Recommendations may be about anything you can think wig when knitting or crafting come to mind, if it is something special and unique to the region even better.

Thank you in advance for your time!❤️

Hi! I've just started to knit this dress: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/groovy-maxi-dress . I did the front and back panels from the top as the pattern instructed, and now it's time to join them for the body, and I'm absolutely lost, I cannot even visualise what I need to do.

Here are the pattern instructions for both:

Front panel:

Back panel:

And here are the instructions to join them:

(For my size, I don't need to cast on additional stitches for the underarm.) I intuitively would say that since I have finished the front and back panels on different facing sides, this does not sound right. And even if I manage it somehow, I should be purling from now on (since I would be continuing to work from the wrong-side facing front panel), which is not what the pattern says.

I hope I made my problem clear. Can someone please explain it in plain terms or direct me to a video tutorial using the same methods? Thank you in advance!
