[Nfb-krafters-korner] increasing

[eileen scrivani]

Hi Sue:

After you knit the stitch, leave it on the left needle.  Then, take the 
point of the right needle and insert in a purl-wise motion, but instead of 
doing it in the front, do the insertation on the back side.  Your working 
yarn will also be at the back of your work.  Just yarn over the right needle 
and pull a new loop up/out of the stitch on the left needle.  You will have 
2 new stitches on the right needle and then you can go ahead and push the 
worked stitch off the left needle.

hope this helps.

Eileen
