Common abbreviations used in knitting patterns
You are
happily knitting your Children in Common sock when suddenly you come across an
abbreviation in the pattern that you've never seen before. You're told to SSK or
to PSSO and you have no idea what's expected of you. You panic, then you think,
"I know! I'll write to the list." but...it's 2:00 a.m. and you
know no one is going to respond until morning. "OH NO!" you cry.
"Whatever will I do?"
Relax...the answer is but a click away.
