I believe it was when I was doing the saddle shoulders portion for a seamless hyrbrid. <BR/><BR/>I would slip, remove marker, slip back, k2tog, then put marker on right needle.<BR/><BR/>But I agree it depends on what the items needs to do. I knew I needed the one part to stay the same size while the other was decreasing. Then I would count, count, and recount for a couple rows to make sure it was right, haha!TurnipToeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238424454502372001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-75767071669724128202007-10-10T09:48:00.000-05:002007-10-10T09:48:00.000-05:00Part of it depends on where the marker is and what...Part of it depends on where the marker is and what it's doing. Where exactly is it? On the blue sweater? It's probably a matter of lining up the decreases as intended. <BR/>But you know, it never hurts to check the errata, even if you don't think there's a problem.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071438870432359274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-73366857520035810312007-10-09T21:27:00.000-05:002007-10-09T21:27:00.000-05:00Interesting.

I guess the real problem is that the pattern isn't explicit enough because it does not indicate the purpose of the marker.<BR/><BR/>If I were to try to apply an algorithm to this problem, I could solve it by placing a marker that would behave as the pattern author intended (which could be any one of the four scenarios, in fact.) When I go to decrease across a marker, the type of marker would dictate the end result.the fiddlin' foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139395792905529041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-81871169086401833682007-10-09T20:37:00.000-05:002007-10-09T20:37:00.000-05:00it depends... is there any more information in the...it depends... is there any more information in the pattern? What are we making? is the important thing to mark the distance from a particular side of the knitting, or a distance from some other point, or the middle or a movable line of decreases and increases? More information is necessary.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01697991569215235051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-47685236477465936962007-10-09T20:24:00.000-05:002007-10-09T20:24:00.000-05:00I let the knitting tell me what to do.

Without seeing the knitting, I couldn't possibly know which would work best.LaurieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609188211326621400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-12828688771880491312007-10-09T19:50:00.000-05:002007-10-09T19:50:00.000-05:00well...if I wrote the pattern , I want the marker ...well...<BR/>if I wrote the pattern , I want the marker before that st, whatever happens to it, so I'd slip, remove, slip back, pm on right needle, k2tog. <BR/><BR/>(note, were it ssk, I'd put the marker AFTER the decreased pair.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468564896579447798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793822.post-16525998932340367872007-10-09T19:28:00.000-05:002007-10-09T19:28:00.000-05:00slip, remove, slip back, ktog . . . but I'm a proc...slip, remove, slip back, ktog . . . but I'm a process knitterRobynRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731617033604966012noreply@blogger.com
