Short Row Confusion

[Jaye]

I am having difficulty determining where to start short rowing for shoulder shaping. I have read that you add an extra row (past the BO step row) to start short rowing. I have also read that you start the short rowing one row before the pattern calls for the BO stepping.

In the Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques it says, "Knit across the row until the number of stitches you were to bind off remains on the left needle." I'm assuming that means you start short rowing on the SAME row as the BO instructions -- am I reading this right?

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thank you,

Jaye

That's the way I've done it. I think the instructions in that book are wonderful, so I follow them.
