Okay, so I’m knitting away on Picovoli, right? Easy pattern, great design, nice smooth yarn, delightful Addi needles. Lovely.
Now I get to the waist decreases. I put my stitch markers in the right place, and my k2togs are looking great. A nice smooth decrease.
But the SSK on the other side looks wonky. Instead of a straight line where the decreases happen, I have this little stair-step effect. Is this normal? Is there a different decrease that would be straighter? Experienced knitters, give me your advice. I still can’t remember which is right- and left-slanting, much less make them match up. Ergh.
Huhhhh, it’s so pretty. The color looks pinker here. Love it. Want to touch
ssk leans left (if looking at it from right side up)
When I do my ssk I slip the first stitch as if to knit and the second as if to purl (commonly known as ssk improved). I think it makes a nicer decrease that makes a k2tog better. Let me know what you think.
I don’t have the answer for you, but I think you should post this on the SKC blog to see if someone there can help. Maybe even email Kathy herself.
