So when you say use the increase that slants slightly to the left, and use it 1 st before marker--do you mean 1 st before you come to the marker as you knit across the piece from right to left? or 1 st before the marker as you look at it (left to right)? Or am I picturing things backwards because the cardigan is knit from the top down,and so that's why you would want an increase slanting to the left on the right side?? I was always the kid in ballet class doing piourettes on the wrong leg, and I still have problems visualizing left/right. And like you said, it's not really a big deal--I'm almost done with the raglan increases and they look fine (i'm very excited about this cardigan). It's just something I've been puzzling over!
