p2tog tbl is challenging but p3tog tbl not for the faint of heart

So That Little Scarf calls for a new stitch (to me) that I had to research before attempting. It is the p2tog tbl and upon attempting it I did feel like I was all thumbs. I found an explanation on the website Knitting on the Net here. So I mastered p2tog tbl but then to my shock a row or two later the pattern indicated to p3tog tbl. Yowza this stitch really took some patients. Now I only dread the one row with the p3tog tbl because the p2tog tbl isn't so bad. :-)
