    Finally, an accurate explanation of why the SSK is not like a K2tog. Excellent. I am now going to rip back the toe of the sock that I am working on and try this method. Thank you so much. 🙏👏

    Love that you’ve explained the reason for the ‘baggy’ stitch on SSK. My SSKs are looking so much neater using this technique. Thank you Nathan 😊

    Oddly I've been doing SSK's on a pair of socks this morning so I watched this thinking 'yeah, sure, this will be stupid'. Guess what? Not stupid, very easy and intuitive. Thanks, Nathan.

      YES! Good for you! If you can accurately identify what is actually causing any issues, you can work out how to fix them. That’s what this is all about!

    What a gorgeous result and so astoundingly simple once I see it. My next question: I love the yarnovers in this sample piece between the lines of k2tog and SSK - how did you get them so uniform in size on each side, and how did you get them to go from larger to smaller in size as you continue to knit up in the piece?

  • @takaela
    @takaela 2 года назад

    nice! as a combination knitter, my stitches are usually the wrong way round on the needles, so my SSKs are neater than my K2ts... my usual trick with lace knitting is to be sure to knit with the next row in mind, and make the direction of the stitch match what i need i to do next. i will have to experiment!

    • @Sockmatician
      @Sockmatician  2 года назад +1

      A similar approach should help with combination k2tog. See if you can use the same technique, and see if it works for you.

    I wonder if this would this work with SSP? I'll have to play around with it. Thank you so much for this! My afterthought heels will look so much better now!
    The reason for the question is that I use the Portuguese style of knitting, and do everything from the purl side because it's so much faster and easier in that method. In other words, I do everything "wrong side out" and have to reverse the instructions (easier than it sounds!).

    • @Sockmatician
      @Sockmatician  2 года назад +2

      Yes, the theory behind the concept should work for any kind of manoeuvre: it’s all about being able to use easing to tighten up whichever is going to end up as the top stitch in a completed decrease.

    I have a tidy SSK but the next row I knit and my decrease row goes wobbly. That knit stitch is straight and not slanted to the left - any way to fix that?? 🙏

      It’s on its way. The manuscript is back from my tech editor, and I’ve been working long hours implementing all the corrections and improvements. Next stage is the photography and the laying out, which admittedly is a big job, but it’s getting closer to completion. The light is winking at me from the end of the tunnel now, at least. Thank you for your patience. X
