[Nfb-krafters-korner] Slipping the first stitch Instructions Modified

Tue Aug 27 17:10:59 UTC 2013

I've done it this way as well, but only if the pattern called for the slip 
as if to perl to be done with yarn in front.  Some patterns call for that to 
be included, but not always.  If I am doing the slip stitch on my own, I 
keep the yarn in back.
