Question. On row 2., the audio of the video says:
P1 *yb sl 1 purlwise, kfb of next st, k1, psso the last 3 sts made, p1; rep from * to end

the instructions say:
P1 *sl 1 purlwise, yb, kfb of next st, k1, psso the last 3 sts made, p1; rep from * to end

Which is it?
A subtle yet notable difference…

Many thanks!
