Pattern question

I'm confused about these instructions:


Next row (RS) Bind off 3 (3, 4, 4) sts (armhole edge), k to last 5 sts, M1 (collar inc), k5. Knit next row.

Cont to shape armhole as foll: dec 1 st at armhole edge on next row, then every other row 1 (2, 3, 3) times more. AT THE SAME TIME, inc 1 st (M1) 5 sts from collar edge every 4th row 5 times more, then every 6th row twice -- 33 (34, 35, 37) sts. Work even until armhole measures same as back to shoulder, end

When one side is the armhole and one side is the collar, is "every other row" only the armhole row or does that include the collar row too.

YOUR ANSWER


Every other row is just that. If your instructions tell you to decrease on the current row and to repeat the decrease on every other row (or every alt row) then you work the decrease on every second row. So you do the decreases on the current row, knit one row without decreasing and decrease on the next row.

Notice the different look and feel on some pages?

I am currently moving all of the pages to a new CSS driven template but with around 700 pages it is going to take me a while to get it done.

So in the meantime, I hope you will forgive the switch from one look to another as you navigate through the site...
