In The Whisper: May 2020
The k2tog or ssp preserves the attachment between the short rows ends and the fabric, while getting rid of the bump. Here's my bookclub edition from 1979. This was my first meeting with the gorgeous Hugh Berenger for whom I formed a lifelong attachment. Now on the purl side, SLIP the first stitch from the left needle to the right needle without working it. As shown in illustration 4a, as each turn-point (bright blue and pink) is reached, then instead of wrapping the turn-loops around the neighboring stitch as in variations 2 and 3 of this post, the turn loop is instead caught on a pin. If using a safety pin as shown, simply fasten it shut around--not through--the turn loop before turning the work and knitting or purling back. After the turn-loop is safely on the left needle and oriented whichever arm forward is required, the pin is removed and the work goes forward as shown in illustrations 3b (knit side) and 우리카지노 3d (pur
In other words, the turn-loop on the pin is pulled up onto the left needle right arm first, the pin is removed, then a k2tog is performed to work the turn-loop together with its left-hand neighbor. Again set a pin around the running yarn, turn the work and and again slip the first stitch from the left needle to the right needle purlwise. The pin has been set, the first stitch (red with blue dots) slipped and the next stitch (red) purled. That was my first thought. Next, knit to the end of the short row, finishing by knitting into the top of the stitch you first slipped. Slipping a stitch means there is even less yarn to stretch out, making Japanese short rows the tightest and tidiest (as seen from the knit side) of any short rows. Shown below is how the work would proceed if you were starting on the smooth (knit) side of a stockinette fabric. Attach a pin (safety pin or bobby pin, makes absolutely no difference) around the running yarn, in the same manner as in illustration 4a. Turn the work. Here's a trick to make it easier using a pin--either a coil-less safety pin or a bo
The resolution affirms the district’s commitment to the "emotional and physical safety of Black students," acknowledging that Mona Shores must address institutionalized racism in the school and greater community. When you learn that you cannot ship on time, you must decide whether you will ever be able to ship the order. Nevertheless, the short rows must be attached, and the end result of lifting--where the turn-loop is k2tog'ed or ssp'ed together with its left-hand neighbor--looks very well indeed. After the bright blue turn-loop has been k2tog'ed with the yellow stitch, the work proceeds to the end of the row, and then the work is turned. Per illustration 3c, in our illustration fabric that would mean that after the k2tog, only 1 more stitch remains to be knit before the work is turned to the purl side. After ssp'ing together the blue stitch with the pink wrap, work to the end of the row, and turn a

Following the purple arrow, you will now purl the stitches together, working through the BLUE stitch first. When Michigan was being opened to exploration and settlement, most folks arrived in Detroit first. In illustration 3e, all the distracting coloring has been removed, leaving only the pink and the blue wrap still colored. As shown in illustration 3e, unwrapping the turn-loops by lifting them off the necks of their neighbors, then k2tog'ing/ssp'ing them together with these neighbors makes a beautiful fabric. It would be possible to simply dig these turn-loops out of the fabric, lift them onto the left needle and either knit (bright blue) or purl (pink) these stitches together with their neighbors. Specifically, the blue stitch goes on first, and it's very important that it be placed LEFT ARM FORWARD. Illustration 2g shows the bright-blue wrapped yellow stitch about to be knit. Illustration 5a shows the purl side of the fabric. Illustration 5c shows the finished product from the back. On the reverse fabric face, purl back to the (dark blue) wrapped st

Once the blue stitch and the pink wrap are disengaged, they are placed onto the left needle in the order shown shown by illustration 3d, below. Again, this dotted stitch has been slipped purlwise. Note that this dotted stitch has been slipped "purlwise" which means it was slipped open (untwisted) and right arm forward, as shown. You will find that you aren't really lifting the pink wrap off the blue stitch, but rather are slipping the wrapped stitch off of both needles and, while this assembly hangs in the air, using both needle tips to wiggle the blue stitch out of the pink wrap's embrace. The rationale is twofold: avoiding the extra yarn inserted at the "wrap" stage, as well as avoiding the extra manhandling of stitches which accompanies the wrapping and lifting (unwrapping). So how about the best of both worlds--not wrapping but still lifting? There are two ways to lift without
