Knitting in Combat Boots

My knitting group is a group of enablers.

It's not necessarily a bad thing; it just gets me into situations like this.

For years, I've stayed away from double pointed needles. They're tricky and bothersome and confusing and have the unerring tendency to slide right out of the knitting. I've made do with sewing up the sides of flat knit items and using round needles.

Well, my knitting group peer pressured me into trying DPNs again. And gave me the advice and encouragement I needed to actually make it work. I knit up a little bag and then I knit up a couple little bunny nuggets.

And now, I'm working on my first pair of gloves - the Queen Of Diamonds from KnitPicks.

This is a grand thing, really. I've had the needles and yarn for this pattern for three years now, but I couldn't manage the needles. Now I can.

However, I've just gotten to the eyelet rounds on the hand of the right glove and I'm a bit baffled. I've placed three stitch markers (one at the beginning of the row and one immediately after and one on the next needle) and yet the instructions for row 15 are "k to marker, SM, k14, k2tog, yo, k to end." Well, says I, knit to which marker?

I might hit up a knitting group for this later.
