This helps a bit. I’ve been using the second method in the video rather than the first. The second just involves a tug on the second stitch to tighten up the first and neaten the ssk.
I’ve always been a bit bothered by the look of left leaning decreases like ki, sl1, psso or even improved ssk. The decreases never really looked as neat as k2tog, a right leaning dec. Yarn Sub sent an alternative which I just had a chance to try.
The video link is just before the photo tutorial. The second method shown in the video seems to me to be much easier to work.

See what you think.
Here’s another from KnittingNuances. I haven’t tried this yet but both the subtle and showy decreases look awfully nice on the blog.http://knittingnuances.com/resources/Tutorials/ShowySubtleSummary.pdf
