Question about circs.... HELP???

[wildforyarn]

I have a question about knitting on circulars. I am making the Memaw's Tote in the SnB book. I was cruising along on it and then stopped to do other projects for like 2.5 months. Well, now I am back and confused. I am knitting it like the pattern says, but it is now purled on the outside of the bag and knitted on the inside. Is this the way it stays when I am done and ready to felt or am I to turn inside out so the knit side is on the outside and the purl side is on the inside??? Confused! :thinking:
