On Straight Lines

So, how many people get totally frustrated from the ssk or the s1, k1, PSSO coming out all crooked when your k2tog lies perfectly flat and beautiful? Me? Me? I get so, SO angry about that.

Well, I figured out a trick to have the exact, same straight line for your left-leaning decreases. I know! (!!!!!)

Here's the trick. On the ssk, instead of slipping both stitches knit-wise, slip the first knit-wise and the second purl-wise. Then knit them together through the back legs. Tada! Your left-leaning decreases will sit perfectly straight, no more jogging, no more crookedness.

Check it out in this close-up.



Yeah, those lines are S(kw)S(pw)K(tbl)!
