[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Left or right-leaning lifted increases in knitting

The pattern I just started calls for left, and right, leaning lifted
increases.  I watched the only instructions I could find on Youtube.  I
can't find written instructions.  

She says to identify the stitch below the next stitch on the left needle,
pick up the right leg of the stitch, put it on the left needle and knit it.
That's the right-leaning.

For the left-leaning, I have to go 2 stitches below and lift up the left
leg.

This sounds kinda hard.  Am I lifting up the knit bump of the stitch below
where I am?  To me that's vertically oriented, with a top and bottom, not
left or right.

Can anyone tell me the blind-gal technique for doing this?

Or I suppose I could just cheat and do any old kind of increase.

Tracy
