slip two stitches to the right hand needle, insert the left needle into the back loops of these stitches and then knit. I find this too fidley to do so i use S1 K1 PSSO as it gives the same results: Slip one stitch to the right hand needle, knit the next stitch off of the left hand needle onto the right, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. It gives exactly the same results but isn't as difficult.

Literally - the stitch appears to lean towards the left (SSK versus K2tog).
In knitting, SSK is the abbreviation for Slip, Slip, Knit, and is one of the most common ways of decreasing on a left slanting decrease.TO SSK (For right-handed knitting):Slip one stitch from left-hand needle to right-hand needle as if to knit. (Also said slip one knitwise).Slip the next stitch from left-hand needle to right-hand needle as if to knit.Insert the left-hand needle down into the front of the two stitches just slipped, and knit them together.
Domino Knitting, is, I think, what is being sought here. This is modular knitting in which squares with diagonal ridges are knitted together serially. See Vivian Hoxbro's book, "Domino Knitting". http://www.amazon.com/Domino-Knitting-Technique-Vivian-Hoxbro/dp/193149911X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246215513&sr=8-2#
Mercedes-Benz SSK was created in 1928.

Can you define "biers" for me? I know of nothing in knitting using that word.
A diamond-shaped knitting pattern is popular on sweaters and vests. The diamond pattern is made by knitting and purling, increasing on each row until you get to the mid-row on the diamond, then working the pattern in reverse to complete the diamond.
i think so
double knitting wool is lighter in weight then aran so the gauge will be wrong . the answer is No.. BUT there are aran knitting patterns made for dk or double knitting yarns ( sirdar makes some) just buy an aran pattern designed specifically for dk yarn
