I’m a little confused by the SSK. I looked at the Knitting Help Glossary. There are two different ways to do it, and I’m not sure which to use, and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be slipping purlwise each time or knitwise. Help?
:??
Unless the pattern specifically tells you which way to slip the two stitches, I’d slip them purlwise. But, if you decide to slip them knitwise, be consistent and slip all the SSK’s knitwise (or purlwise), whichever way you decide.
Okay, so then it doesn’t really matter much one way or the other, I guess. Thanks, Ingrid.
I wish I were a bolder knitter. I always freeze up when facing something new, so afraid I’ll royally mess it up. Thank God for this website, and you helpful people.
[color=indigo]I K2tog through back loop instead of SSK. Both lean the same way, and I find it easier especially with fiddly sock yarn. :teehee: [/color]
