It's Leap Day.

Take a risk. :)

Then come back and tell us about it.

Anything in particular puzzling you?

I'm not sure I'm doing the slipped first stitch thing right. I have a notion of why that's there, but I can't solidify it enough to make sure process matches product.

As you have probably figured out, when you slip one at the beginning of a row, it can help keep your edges from getting a loose look - it has a tightening effect because not working that stitch until the next row means it stretches to fill 2 rows of stitching instead of 1.

So if you are simply moving that stitch to the other needle you are doing fine. It shouldn't make much different here, but as a general rule, on a purl row I would slip it as if you were going to purl it, and on a knit row I would slip as if to knit.

And that's all I know about that!
