Eastern Style Purling

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

To go along with my post about Eastern-style knitting, here is how I purl eastern style. Note that the yarn never has to go in front of the left-hand needle.

Eastern Style Knitting

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

At the request of snowmoon3 on Ravelry, I’ve taken pictures and video of the way I knit

I knit Eastern style, with the stitch mounted so the leading edge is behind the needle. My purls are mounted the same way, I’ll show purling in my next post.

Here is entering the stitch:
