Slick I am not sure what she means........where is it I decrease???? I would guess that the (K8, K2tog across) is the description of how you decrease 10%. That is, 10 stitches turn into 9, since you're knitting two of them together. -- Laura , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 |
