[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Purl through back loop

[Dixie]

I cannot do the calisthenics needed to purl through the back loop.  

 

What I do is 

Step 1: slip the stitch to the right needle purl-wise.

Step 2: Slip the stitch back to the left needle twisting it 180 degrees clock-wise.  You’ve now made the back loop the front loop.

Step 3: purl that stitch through the front loop.

 

Cheating, yes.  Effective, yes.

Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.

I know how to knit through the back loop, but can anyone explain to me how to purl through back loop?  I’ve tried, but I can’t figure it out. Or is it too complicated to explain, and I need to get someone to show me?  I know a very good knitter, but she’s not so good at explaining patiently.
