When knitting in the round for a long knit i do moove some stit forward from Dp to dp , to `avoid ` a `mark` of looser st in the place between 2 needles. I try to have two pairs of each number so i can knit easier if needed ,, mirjam |

I like to split the stitches evenly between the needles. Sometimes there is a repeating pattern that may make sense using a different distribution to help remember the pattern changes easier. -Shannon http://www.easyknittingpatterns.net/ |
