My sweater is coming along, though if I continue at this rate I’ll be able to finish it sometime in the year 2017. Tonight I finally understood the instructions, which means that I had to tear out about 4 inches of knitting. That’s just over four thousand stitches. Now I’m back to where I was last Saturday, just before I tore the whole thing out to start over.

If anyone else runs across these words:

Decrease 1 stitch at each end of next row, and on the following 6th row twice as follows: K1, k2tog, knit to last 3 stitches, slip 1, K1 psso, K1

here’s what it means:

On the first row, K1, k2tog, knit to last 3 stitches, slip 1, K1 psso, K1. On the following 6th row K1, k2tog, knit to last 3 stitches, slip 1, K1 psso, K1. On the 12th row K1, k2tog, knit to last 3 stitches, slip 1, K1 psso, K1.

So now you know. I wish I’d known last Saturday. But then, I started this sweater out of a desire for entertainment, not need. So I’m just prolonging the entertainment, I guess.
