Knitting Abbreviation: psso, or Pass Slip Stitch Over

[JugglingNinja33]

I knew a lot of this stuff when I was younger but now I don't really have time to search knitting books for a paragraph on how to do a stitch. Youtube saved my knitting life :D

This looks like she was purling, not knitting? I would appreciate it if the author of this video would clarify my question. Thank you.

@nakidme you're correct - my mistake for not clarifying that in the video. I was purling but the "Pass Slip Stitch Over" part was the focus of the video, which would be the same whether you knit or purl. Sorry for the confusion!

Youtube has helped me a lot in learning knitting and crochetting. English is not my first language, I prefer to follow this video than to read the knitting books.

@udon890 English is my first language, but the knitting boos don't do a thing for me. Seeing the work in action is easiest. I don't know how people learned to knit from diagrams before the internet! I lived in rural Alaska in the 1970's and we didn't even have live TV. I was too young to knit, but people had to learn from people who knew already. they ad to wait 2-3 months for errata to come in magazines!

I think Cyberseams has it right with short, quick explanations and demonstrations.

It looks simple, but I'm a bit confused. It looks like you're knitting Continental here but I'm not sure.

What about a p2sso?

Thanks for posting this, though, it's helping me to figure things out.
