A big thank you to KH for the great videos. Absolutely pulled me out of a dilemma this morning.
I'm working on a project that uses short rows and wraps & turns to produce a mitered corner (turning the knitting direction 90 degrees). The instructions described the W&T fine, but then they said to hide the wraps by 'k 2 wraps tog with st on LH needle'. Being new to this, the only k2 tog I knew was as a decrease. Within seconds I was saying "Well, this can't be right!"
Off I ran to KnittingHelp and started looking at the vid list. There, under 'Short Rows' I found the video that absolutely, positively answered the question. I am now sitting with a bit of practice knitting in my hand that is a perfectly mitered corner with all the wraps nicely hidden on the back side of the work.
You guys are fantastic!!
