[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knifty knitter question

[Terrence van Ettinger]

Speaking of which—could someone refresh me on exactly how purling works? I was thinking it was an e-wrap with the loop of the e on the inside instead of the outside—is that right?

Thanks,
Terrence

Hold the yarn loosely when wrapping.  You do not want to be pulling on it or to have tention.  Practice with just knitting until you can get a smoth wrat and knit, wrap and knit.

For some reason, when I try this, my yarn gets too tight no matter how loose I wrap it and almost always breaks.  Maybe I have the pearl stitch wrong, or does the pattern actually mean to k1p1 instead of knitting one row than pearling the next?  Any help would be appreciated.
