What a stressful week it was - it included a trip to the ER (meth addicts included in the waiting room).  I got some free time this morning and decided to start “The Pattern at the Top” on the Mason Dixon After Dark Nightie.  I spent about a half hour trying to figure out was SK2P, and kept ending up with knitting messes and “No, that can’t be right” kept going through my head with every attemtpt.  Then the light bulb went off and it was time to Google SK2P.  The first hit led to a plea for help from another knitter (hey I’m not alone!) and another knitter recommend this sight http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-glossary.  It had a handy video of how to do the stitch.  Like most people I have a hard time understanding how to do something and the directions, to quote another knitting friend, all seem to be translated from Sanskrit to Chinese, and then to English.  In other words it seems like a lot gets lost in translation.  That in itself is a whole rant.  Anyway, once I figured out how to Sk2P I was able to determine that I need to put stitch markers every 6 stitches.  I have 2 sets of the pattern done and need to do another.  I am getting closer to the end!
