[Nfb-krafters-korner] How to Make SSK Knitting Stitches

[Dixie]

I like these directions!  I just want to confirm one thing.  When you say
knit off the back of the loop, do you mean to insert the right needle into
the loops  on the away side of the loops on  the left needle?

Susan,

When I work an SSK I slip both stitches, one at a time knitwise so they get 
twisted onto the right needle.  Then I don't knit them off the right needle,

but then slip both of them purlwise so they don't untwist back onto the left

needle.  Once they are both back on the left needle, I then K2tog through 
the back of the loops.  I've been told by my guild members this is technical

correct and looks just as an SSK that has been knitted off the right needle 
.

HTH.
