My horse could have won the Kentucky Derby and that yoke would still have had to go. Sometimes, the visual difference in a knitting pattern between slip two stitches as if to knit, knit the next stitch after that, pass the two slipped stitches over the knitted one, ie, sl2-k1-p2sso, vs. the faster slipping just one stitch, knitting two together, then passing the first one over, ie, sl1-k2tog-psso, is striking. The first gives you the middle stitch pretty much going straight up with the other two leaning in towards it from the sides, the second gives you two stitches leaning sideways against the third.
I have leapfrogged over that little problem: that yoke is ripped, reknit, and on beyond. I find it always feels better to get past where I’d been the first time, if possible, before I put a frogged project back down again.
And now it’s blooming again on my needles and I totally love it. It was well worth the rip.
