Shaping Decreases

This is my quick reference for decreasing. I've read tips about keeping which decrease to use where straight, but they just don't stick in my mind.

Tonight my sweater pattern calls for decreases on EVERY row rather than every other. This means I need decreases for the purl side that will line up and match the ones on the knit side.

My two favorite references for things like this (Montse Stanley's Knitter's Handbook and Vicki Square's The Knitter's Companion) gave conflicting advice. So like any 21st Century knitter, I turned to the internet to cast the deciding vote. Of course I got some more conflicting advice. (A Knitter's Blog and The Knitting Fiend among others.)

On Right Side Right Slant (k2tog)

P2tog: Purl 2 together.

SPP: Slip 1 purlwise, purl the next stitch, PSSO.

On Right Side Left Slant (ssk):

P2tog tbl: insert right needle into back loop of the second stitch on the left needle from left to right, and then through first stitch on the left needle; purl.
*: Slip 1 pwise twice, return to the left needle, p2tog tbl. (no name was assigned to this)
P2tog tbl*: slip 1 kwise twice, return to the left, purl tog through the back loops as above. (Also saw this abbreviated as SSP.)

Many writers discuss the difficulty -- I don't care if it is tight or slow, I want the decrease that best matches the K2tog and SSK! Is that really asking too much?

I guess I will have to do some swatches to see what I like. Results tomorrow!
