why didn't anyone tell me?

[wyomingnot]

I can't even remember where I first heard it mentioned... but I tried out Cat Bordhi's Sweet Tomato Heel for the first time the other day. OMG. So much better to work than wrap-and-turn crap.

I hope it fits okay. Because working it was awesome.

Also. Hi!

edit to add... Foolish me. I should have linked to the helpful video.

Convertible help please!

I want to make Knitty's Convertible Shawl, but I was looking over the instructions and I can't figure out what to do about the buttonholes.  Specifically, I have no idea what to do with the marker as specified here: *Buttonhole Row [RS]: K3, yo, k2tog, k1, place marker, work Row 1 of Lace Pattern 7 times, place marker, k2, yo, k2tog, k2.

What do I do with the marker afterwards?

Note: I've never done button holes before, but looking at some button hole instructions doesn't get me anything like what Convertible seems to want me to do.

Help?
