The increases and decreases don't pair up. There seems to be one more 'narrow' than 'over' in each row. Or am I missing something?

Posted by: cookie at August 16, 2005 11:08 AMSome of the marrows with a slip 1 is two stitches decreased therefore, an additional "over" would be needed. It helps to chart it out.

Posted by: Mary at September 6, 2005 4:41 PMI am looking for a list of the knitting abbreviations and definitions of terms/meanings in knitting books published from the year 1900-and forward
This is a wonderful shawl, would love if someone is able to see the problem...
