MMCGEE80 · 01-01-2009, 07:52 PM

When I knit and then purl or knit one, purl two, I have trouble I end up with what looks like two stitches on my needle for when I switched. I'm really frustrated with mixing these stitches. I tried rotating the yarn to other direction so it wouldn't cross over the needle twice, but I just seem to get knots. I have a couple knitting books, but this isn't explained. What I need to know is how do I move from a knit stitch to a purl stitch and vice versa?
