Knitting Patterns!

Question by jcy: What does the knitting abbreviation “RLD” mean?
I am knitting a pattern and the instruction for the row says (RLD, P2)5x. I’ve looked in knitting books and online for the abbreviation RLD but have no clue what it means. Can anyone help?

Question by Puff: Any good books on knitting? Either fiction or non.?
I might read Debbie Macomber’s Blossom St. series, so don’t recommend that. I am currently reading her book Susannah’s Garden and it’s just ok. I wondered if anyone knew of any better authors who write stories having to do with knitting and female friendships.
I’d also like a good, easy book on the basics of knitting or if you know of any good websites on the basics.
No, eviltroll, I am not gay. I have had that nickname for awhile. I am a Christian female who didn’t even know until recently what Puff can mean.
Get a life, pervert!
