In case that was a serious (as opposed to rhetorical) question: In an ssk one slips as if to knit. The "rule" is that you slip to knit if the stitch will immediately be reworked (as in an ssk), slip to purl if you will be moving on after you slip. It was rhetorical but that's okay - I'm glad you answered because I had never heard that "rule"! Thanks! LauraJ No idea about origin but here's the reason: Unless you knit Eastern Uncrossed (or some other non-traditional way that results in the stitches being seated untraditionally on the needles), slipping purlwise simply transfers the stitch without altering it in any way. Slipping knitwise twists the stitch, which affects how the slipped stitch sits once it has been reworked. That's if you're going to work the stitch on the next row. For a slipped stitch that's passed over the next stitch, you want to slip it knitwise so it lies flat on the row you're working. sue |
