Sue, your way of explaining makes sense to me. I just tried it and wrapping the yarn as if to knit or as if to purl is exactly what I do. I could never have figured out to say it that way. Thanks! Sometimes I like to know what I'm doing and how it works.

I used to describe them as 'air stitches' - you're not knitting into a stitch on the other needle, you're knitting into the 'air'. Something like air guitar, I imagine....
