Joyce, This is an interesting one. I’ve never worked a pattern quite like this. I did a little searching, and the best I can figure, is that you are supposed to slip the next 6 stitches to the cable needle, wrap, then knot those 6 sts from the cable needle.

Does that make sense for your pattern?

Batya, I suspect this is too late to help you, but I think you should leave the yarn in front when you slip the stitch purlwise, then move it to the back to knit. Without seeing the rest of the pattern, it is difficult to tell.

I just sent you a PM on Ravelry but you do not seem to be too active there these days.

Can you please post or send me a stitch key definition for your Triquetra pattern.
I know others on Ravelry have requested the same thing but could not find where it was posted.

Thank You.
Diane

Thank You! Thank You! Thank you thousand times!! I just found a mistake in magazine while I was knitting a handbag and I got stuck with it and your great list of abbrevations helped me a lot.
