what does 'ssk' mean?

[CraftDknits]

@lucysfilms SSK means to slip slip knit. I have a tutorial on how to do this method. It's the How to do the Gull Lace pattern video.

I would very much like a video on how to check gauge/make a swatch/what the gauge recommendations on a skein of yarn means. It's seriously confusion and it would really help me out. Your tutorials are so precise and clear. They're real life-savers and I can honestly tell you that without your video tutorials and blog, I wouldn't be as advanced as I am at the moment (which in all actuality isn't that advanced, as I just started knitting in November!).

@Aylaleia Ok, will do. I appreciate the love and I'm very happy that my videos are taking your knitting skills to higher heights.

wow good information. When I started to learn how to knit and crochet, I looked at videos on knitting help and videos on you tube. I have bought my first book at Wal Mart to look at as a guide. Looking at it videos is helpful. You explain this video very well. Thanks.

@knit44 Thank you and I'm glad that this video was helpful to you!

@sunshine1buttercup1 Okay, will do.

Please do the video. I'm more of a visual learner and I've learned to knit and crochet from YT.

@TOOCHOCLATE50 Yes, please do. I'm excited already because I know that your cowl is going to come out greater than you expected.
