Screenshot of a post on reddit. Title of the post: "Has anyone else experienced this? NPR All Things Considered playing GOT7 Python." Body of post: "The first time it happened, I dismissed it as a fluke, but it happened again. I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio in the US), their program All Things Considered, and they played a sound clip of Python while transitioning between stories. I don't know if it's a regular thing they do, or if I somehow managed to hear it the two times they did it, but I'd really like to know if anyone else has heard it."

screenshot of reddit comments: "After they're purling, the entire row is now just alternating slipped stitches and yarnovers, and the yarnovers are falling apart and just falling off which makes esentially a hugely long float from the left side to the right, where they just knit the stitches again. To say I have never seen ANYTHING like this is a complete understatement." A different comment below: "I think you're bang on, and it explains how OP managed to get this effect - they're essentially only keeping the knit rows (besides occasional correct or partially correct purl sts), and it's making two layers of work - one stockinette and one big loops."
