Nice! Friend of mine loves knitting!
But in the example in your Github, was does "2K KFB 6K WYIF 3SLP" mean?
The explanation is "The rest are the steps for this row.". I don't understand.
Can somebody explain?
- afc 2y agoThank you! Mouse over each abbreviation and you should see a tooltip. This specific row would mean "2 knit, Knit Front Back, 6 knit, with yarn in front 3 slip." This may also help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting_abbreviations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting_abbreviations
- mrosethompson 2y agoThese are generally written as k2, k6, etc. -- is there a reason why you reversed them?
- afc 2y agoOh, good point, I might swap them. I think you're right. I sometimes print something like "8(K P)" where I think putting the number in front makes more sense. But yeah, I think if there are no parentheses, I should just print it as you suggest. Thank you!
- afc 2y agoOK, I've adjusted the output accordingly (https://github.com/alefore/knit/commit/b08f1d1957acf7b37c2cf0bd190aabb3a969af65 https://github.com/alefore/knit/commit/b08f1d1957acf7b37c2cf...).
- esquivalience 2y agoYour friend will likely be familiar with this notation, which is fairly standard (though not by any means universal). I think it means: knit 2 stitches, then knit the next stitch twice (incrementing the number in that row as result); knit 6 more then slip the last 3 stitches while holding the yarn in front.
