So I get out the size 9 needles and worsted weight yarn and knit a swatch. Now I get it and have a swatch stitched to an index card in my swatch box which also has swatches from sweaters that have been washed and blocked with accurate notes just in case I use that particular yarn again or forget how I should wash it. warm water? cold water? hand wash? Just trying to make my life easier. --Ann--
Slipping the 2 stitches knit wise then knitting and passing the 2 slipped stitches over looks so much nicer. By the time I knit this stitch pattern again I will have forgotten how it should be done so I have a reference in my box of swatches.

Great idea for the index cards although I'm not sure I could be that disciplined. Love your socks! Nice finish.
