Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I'm working on understanding the chart pattern and I have a question! althea_valara mentioned that SKP is interchangeable with SSK, and looking into it, SSK sounds easier, so I'll likely do that. I was just reading something that says if the pattern doesn't specify that you should slip the stitch knitwise, you should do it purlwise; I don't think this pattern specifies, but it is generally a knit row - would it still be wiser to do it purlwise or should I do it knitwise? (This is the pattern, for reference.)

Personally, if it's a knit row I'd slip it knitwise.

For a purl row I'd slip it purlwise, but I haven't come across any lace patterns where every row is a pattern row, so I guess that's a moot point.

That would've been my instinct too but I thought it worthwhile to check :D Thanks!

[badly_knitted]

Never hurts to ask, and you're welcome =)

I KNOW you're talking English, but I don't speak Knitting. I so admire anyone who can made heads or tails from those patterns!

Haha, it all sounded like gibberish to me before I started learning, and a lot of it still does 😅
