I've started on the Pavone but noticed that the CTS as explained in the techniques is different from the original one we did in a previous piece. After doing the first part of knitting the second stitch through the first stitch it says to knit the second stitch through the back loop. Is that meaning that we do nothing with the first stitch and just slip it off with the original second stitch, that we are knitting through the back loop of the original second stitch or that the first stitch becomes the second stitch on the needle. Sounds complicated. Or should we just do the original CTS as we first learned it. What is everybody doing with their CTS.
Thanks,
Mary Jane

I've been doing the first thing you said: just slipping the original first stitch off the needle after knitting the original second stitch through front and back loops. I had problems with the Pavone after the bindoff row, so I put it onto waste yarn and will wait until I get to Montisi and can get help with it.
Fae, thanks for your imput. I know Susan and Deb did it the original way we learned it. I have 2 rows done the original way and just stopped. Do you think it makes a big difference? What do you mean you had problems after binding it off? It doesn't bind off right?

I looked at the other pieces that use CTS, and I think they do look somewhat different. But personally I wouldn't redo anything because of this, especially since we don't know for sure what the right way is. The problem for me came after row 17, which is a partial bindoff row. The problem wasn't the bindoff itself, but that I couldn't get the "ES" holes to line up correctly, and I think there may be mistakes in the pattern -- at least for size 3, which is what I'm doing. I'm trying to tell myself not to panic about getting all of this done before the trip!
