I'm pretty sure it's because the yo (the increase) is incorporated into the pass st over (the decrease), thereby cancelling each other out. In all the patts that bias, the yo is separate from the pass st over.Amy Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809697810193247369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550479326869263067.post-30969197782016471792013-02-05T21:00:48.127-08:002013-02-05T21:00:48.127-08:00Hmmm.

I'm betting it is the tightness of either a slip or a knit st that pulls the swatch to bias.Vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550479326869263067.post-66913579560477247592013-02-01T05:59:13.805-08:002013-02-01T05:59:13.805-08:00Hi Vicki!

I didn't show all the variations that I tried, but I did change the k to a sl1 and it didn't make any difference (except that the sl1 was easier to perform than the k). I'm delighted that this has caught your attention!Amy Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809697810193247369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550479326869263067.post-44951078546579888342013-01-31T18:47:17.472-08:002013-01-31T18:47:17.472-08:00Oops, I meant in that first swatch, the orange one...Oops, I meant in that first swatch, the orange one.Vicki Elsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550479326869263067.post-22882591305526922222013-01-31T18:44:53.746-08:002013-01-31T18:44:53.746-08:00In the cross mesh swatch, the stitch that is passe...In the cross mesh swatch, the stitch that is passed over is already knitted (tighter) than a slip st or a yo. And it is passed over two sts.

That's why I showed this particular variation. As I was falling asleep one night, I had an image of CSM as half a stitch on the far right (yo) and half a stitch on the far left (pass st over), and all the rest of the stitches in between have no effect.Amy Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809697810193247369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550479326869263067.post-28538732090179700022013-01-31T01:14:24.910-08:002013-01-31T01:14:24.910-08:00In variation 10, the fabric isn't actually lea...In variation 10, the fabric isn't actually leaning, or biasing. You are decreasing on the left and increasing on the right. The st stitches are vertical. If the fabric itself were biasing, they would be leaning.Vicki Elsternoreply@blogger.com
