So, now I can try to keep my finger still.<BR/>Thanks again and yes, the internet is great for meeting people all over the world :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23336194.post-3562226032164114052007-04-27T02:27:00.000-07:002007-04-27T02:27:00.000-07:00Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!I'm that Do...Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!<BR/>I'm that DogMotive person (Sylvie is my real name) and I really appreciate this, it's excellent!<BR/>I certainly will practise more.

Funny that you should post this just now, because I watched and rewatched the K2, P1 video yesterday evening and spent this morning's knitting time practising. At present, I am in a hybrid mode where the left needle scoops, but the index is still twitching a little to assist with the wrap; something I may never be able to overcome because I have always enjoyed purling Continental. <BR/><BR/>While trying the Finnish purl, it had occurred to me that a possible reason why this method would assist in conquering rowing out would be that the left needle tip fully guides the completed stitch into position on the right needle; taking up any additional slack between stitches. At least it does when I knit. Your video does not seem to show this particular benefit in progress. <BR/><BR/>I do so enjoy your blog. It challenges me to keep thinking about how I knit and why.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995456961674323818noreply@blogger.com
