[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Purl through back loop

I am a continental knitter and I do not "wrap" the yarn, instead the 
yarn is held taught and the right needle reaches and grabs/or scoops the 
yarn.

While I try to avoid pfb when writing patterns, the current one I am 
making has them and I am finally comfortable with them.

purl the first leg, now, move the working yarn behind the needle and 
behind the back leg of the stitch. Bring your right needle tip in front 
of that back leg and scoop or grab the working yarn and pull it through 
and then pull that back leg off the left needle.
