\nRow 1 – (color 1<\/span>) k1, k2, s2wyib<\/span>, k4, s2wyib<\/span>, k4, s2wyib<\/span>, k2, k1<\/span>
\nThe s2wyib will line up over the purls from the previous row. You are carrying those 2 purls up one row without knitting them. Don’t worry too much about the tension on the s2wyib. As long as they are not exceedingly tight you will be ok. It’s hard to see the floats in the 3rd picture because of the yarn.<\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe s2wyif will line up with the purls from 2 rows back. They are being carried up this row as well.

\nOr the scary row! This is the row that we begin dropping stitches to move them across the work. Unless you pull a whole lot, the stitches don’t go anywhere. This is where the stitch marker or cable needle come into play. You should put the dropped stitch on one until you get comfortable. I used a stitch marker when I first started.<\/p>\n

\nOn this row, if you look at your purls, they line up with the moved stitches from the previous row (see the second picture in Row 5).\u00a0 And they also line up with the purls from row 2 of the set up row.
