Knitting Pattern
What does "yfwd" mean in a knitting pattern?

My knitting pattern reads as follows:

"row 3: yfwd, k2"

I've read elsewhere that it's a British abbreviation for yarn over, but it comes at the start of the pattern. I thought you could only do a yarn over between two stitches. Can you do it at the beginning of a row? (if so, how? I'm really lost on this one)

You can do a YO/YFWD at the beginning of a row; it's a lace technique called (no laughing) faggoting. I'm referencing a magazine, but doing a YO isn't exactly a copyright-able technique, so I think I'm good... just bring the yarn over the needle at the end of the previous row, turn, and then knit into the back of the loop, holding the yarn in place if necessary.
