I am gonna start a project on sz. 2 needles and then need to switch to size 3. Do I just slip them off one at a time? That will make the first stitch on the left the last on the right? Is that how it's done?
Nothing specific said in pattern just change to larger needles.

If I remember correctly, you start your next row with one large needle and the stitches on your smaller needle. When you finish this row you use the other larger needle. Don't slip your stitches off the smaller needle.

You know I had that thought on my way home. Sometimes the most simple things just take a while to get connected LOL!
