How to Slip Stitches Correctly // Technique Tuesday

In this week's Technique Tuesday video, I explain why stitches are sometimes slipped as if to knit and sometimes as if to purl, and how to determine which way to slip if the instructions don't specify. Also, how to handle instructions to slip when your stitches have an Eastern mount, or if you're a Combination knitter.
