OK, so I thought I knew what “as set” meant, but when I knit a swatch, it doesn’t look right–well, it doesn’t look like the picture. So I thought I’d ask and see if I am doing this right!
My pattern gives directions (by way of a diagram) for rows 1 and 3. WS rows are completed “as set”. (pattern is 9 st repeat)
Row 1: k1; slip one onto cable needle in front, then k1, then k1 from cable needle; k1 tbl; slip one onto cable needle in back, then k1, then k1 from cable needle; k3
Row 3: k1; slip one onto cable needle in front, then k1, then k1 from cable needle; k1 tbl; slip one onto cable needle in back, then k1, then k1 from cable needle; k1, p2
(notice the only difference is the last 3 sts)
So, when I work the WS, do I still slip sts onto a cable needle? I have tried this and it looks way too tight.
I have also tried just purling the purls and knitting the knits on the WS, and this looks better, and mostly like the pic, but since I am using a different yarn, it is a little hard for me to tell if it is right.
Any advice and suggestions will be much appreciated!
