Not pleased with the look of my left-leaning decreases, I posed this question last night at Stitch Therapy:
Do you slip as if to knit or slip as if to purl?
Marin said she slips as if to knit.
Given that I admire Marin's knitting, this was not what I wanted to hear; I had just completed an item for a New York photo shoot lousy with twisted SSKs.
This morning I consulted Knittinghelp.com and indeed when executing an SSK, you slip as if to knit.
Amazing how one can go years living in the dark.
I'll just tell Karin, it's a design feature.
