Slip 11 stitches?

by Donna
(Vancouver, BC )

I am making a shawl that is made with the first 11 stitches in each row slipped as the pattern says S11 then you knit or pearl the rest of the row. I am assuming that you leave a length of the wool so that it is not tight to when you start knitting after slipping. What do I do with all the loops of wool that are left after I slip the 11 stitches?

What do I do with them when I am finished the piece???

I am thinking that I am doing this incorrectly.

Please help!

YOUR ANSWER

I have never seen this before. Quite a few of my patterns have slip 1 stitch at the beginning of every row, but 11 seems excessive to me.

It could be a typo.

But it is hard to say without seeing the pattern or a picture of the finished article. Maybe if you could give me more details about the pattern or send me a copy I might be able to work it out for you.
