Clap question - Sl1
I suppose this is more of a general question, actually. When a pattern, such as Clapotis, calls for you to sl1 at the beginning of a row, I'm always wondering if I should slip the stitch purlwise no matter what, or slip the stitch in the same manner that the row calls for (sl purlwise when purling, sl knitwise when knitting).
I keep coming up with this question, and wondering if it matters that much whenever I have a sl1 at the beginning of a row. Does this break down to a preference thing or is there a super secret knitters method to this madness?
TIA
