Decreases -- Test swatch

After my last post about the problems I was having with my decreases, I got several people suggesting I should try SSK “improved – slipping the first st knitwise and the second st purlwise (normally they should both be slipped knitwise). Here is a test swatch I knit to try out the difference:

SSK (slipping both knitwise) is on the on right.

SSK Improved (slip first knitwise and second purlwise) is on the left.
I think the SSK improved does look a little better, although they really aren’t very different.

are you planning to try this method for your picovili? did you try contacting Kathy Grumperina directly? she may be willing to offer alternatives.

good luck, Zarah, and thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog.
