Pattern instructions question
I seem to have a knack for finding patterns with instructions I can't figure out. This one is the Aran Style Jacket from the 2002 issue of Knit-It (picture on pg 69, instructions on pg 105). There is a 16 row repeat creating a lattice pattern, and in there, are instructions to "Sl1p" and "Sl2p" -- which would on first glance seem to be just slip 1 purlwise and slip 2 purlwise. But there are instructions under "special abbreviations" which make it sound different, and I *think* it has something to do with a cross. The special abbreviations a Sl1p -- With yarn at back of work, slip next stitch onto LH needle purlwise to RH needle Sl2p -- Same as Sl1p, but over two stitches Used in the context of one of the row instructions: "Knit the knit stitches, and sl1p each purl stitch" With the Sl1p, I'm wondering if there is a typo -- when it says "slip next stitch ONTO LH needle", it makes it sound like you are moving a stitch from the RH needle tothe LH needle -- so I'm wondering if it should have been "ON" instead of "ONTO" -- which would make it a regular slip stitch purlwise (and it would seem like it would be clearer to say "slip each purl stitch" instead of "sl1p each purl stitch". But then the Sl2p doesn't make sense. Any ideas? |

I'd recommending checking the (presumed) knit-it website for errata.
What you typed doesn't make sense. I initially thought *you* made a typo, but then I finished reading your post.

It turned out to be a typo -- it was a plain old garden variety slip-stitch purlwise. It threw me off because it was under "Special Abbreviations", and then the typo in it. But there was an error in that the yarn has to be held to the other side than they say. It only took me two froggings to figure it out finally. "Slinky" wrote in message ...
