[Nfb-krafters-korner] increasing

[MS S TILLETT]

Can anyone explain to me how to increase by doing a regular knit stitch and not taking the stitch off the needle, and then going into the back of the stitch and then taking it off?  I have trouble with the second half of the stitch.  I know how to go into the back of the stitch, but when I try to bring the needle back through all that mess I do something wrong and end up with three stitches instead of two.  Do most of you do the kind of increase where you make a loop and just put it over the needle?  
I am making mittens and would prefer to increase the more complicated way because I think it would hold up better.  Thanks.

  My wood working husband, Louis, tells me that NFB sells a product called the 
  "Roto Matic" and it has a threaded rod and it has two nuts on it.  With 
  every quarter turn, it is equivalent to 1/64th of an inch and there are 
  markings every half inch on the rod.  Louis thinks its approximately 8 
  inches as opposed to the Click Omatic which is 6 inches and can only measure 
  down to 1/16th of an inch.

  They both have extensions.  He has not check recently, but thinks they are 
  both comprable in price.
