What?

From a knitting pattern:

This pattern incorporates many short rows, most of which are only a few stitches long. Turning your work this frequently can be cumbersome and tedious, so the technique of knitting backwards is recommended.
Knitting backwards? I cannot even imagine what that means. My little brain is spinning.

    Hi,
    I ran into your blog and liked it enough to link back to it. Would you care to link back to me?
    Cheers

    Hi there--Now, I'm no knitter, but it's always interesting when anything is done backwards (laugh). Have you found out what they meant?

  5. No...I decided to go back to the simpler pattern. I have only been knitting for 3 weeks! But I have already used what I have learned to tie my dog securely to a post, so it is all quite useful to know.

    It is fun, too, to pick up my knitting and have my littlest one go get her knitting and we sit and knit and talk.

  7. Yes, my girls wanted to learn, so I had to learn first so I could teach them. Of course, I have gotten completely obsessed with it.

    It's a nice break from technology, although I couldn't have learned it without the internet.

    I find the same thing. When I'm interested in learning something that's hands on, I go to the Internet. So much for our getting away from the technology for a break! (laugh)2aol.com
