By the way, do you know how to do an SSK (slip slip knit)? I need to learn it for this scarf I'm going to make.

Yep, I learned how from stitchguide.com. The basic idea is that you're reversing the way the stitches sit on the needle in order to make the decrease tilt the other way. You might not want to watch me, though, because I knit backwards and have never learned how to knit "normally". :)
