I have a question about ssk. I don't see the real benefit of sliping the stitches to the other needle, why not just knit them together in the first place?? I'm just learning to knit, so this may be a stupid question, but it just seem like slipping them from one needle to the next doesn't really make a difference, and one *could* just knit them together in the first place. Can you explain the relevance of slipping the stitches before knitting them together?? Thanks!!

@wildblue67 Yes, I'm happy to explain this. By slipping each stitch as if to knit, you are individually twisting the stitches. That action, combined with knitting them through the back loop, gives you a left-leaning decrease. Knit Two Together (k2tog) is a right leaning decrease.
