    this is stupid. purling is just plain faster. it’s not hard either… it would take me longer to learn to do this backward knitting stuff than it would to knit a whole garment.

    Great demo. Thanks for doing it so slowly so I could really see what you’re doing. Super help.

    Normal purling works faster for me. But sometimes you have pattern in which you only need a few purls (like entrelac knitting or the heel of a sock), than it’s way faster.

    I watched this 3 times & couldn’t see how this was purling, it looked just like knitting to me. Then I realized – I’m left-handed! Now I get it – I have to reverse it for myself (as I ALWAYS do) which then makes it backward knitting for a leftie. Ingeniuos! Thanks for a great video (even if it IS wrong-handed – LOL)

    “Cool, but can you go faster than that? Cuz if not, avoiding purling is kinda pointless.”

    Of course you can do it faster than this, and you also never have to turn the work (when you get to the end you just keep going) so you save even more time that way.

    Cool, but can you go faster than that? Cuz if not, avoiding purling is kinda pointless.

    Could you do …
    Could you do another video like that one and
    let it last for at least a full minute? I’m
    trying to learn many different ways to knit
    myself. Right now knitting backwards is kinda
    frustrating for I don’t have the hang of it
    yet.

    Oh! This is very menacing. Play it backwards and the true message emerges. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Yay!I’m just a beginner and I thought I was ding it right but I was purling instead of knitting!Thank you for this video!

    I bet that’s on the TV in the background, too.

    I haven’t seen anything more insulting on YouTube. Phallic symbols galore, and what’s that yarn supposed to represent? I don’t even wanna know!

    This video is more propiganda from the Bush big oil war machine! When will you stupid sheep stop believing the lies and understand knitting is one step away from fashism?!?!?! IDIOTS!

    Exactly. This has the video-manipulating techniques of the Greek Army Psyops Department written all over it!

  18. ataturkuberalles Says:

    And who told you …
    And who told you about these so-called “cheeze doodlez?” An Armenian propagandist? The Ottoman Empire shall rise again!

  19. ataturkuberalles Says:

    This “backwards …
    This “backwards knitting” is obviously a plot by the Greeks and the Armenians, in collusion with Zionist interests, to take away the territory of the republic of Türkiye! Resist it with all your power, and always keep fighting for the establishment of a glorious Pan-Turkic Confederation!

  20. boycottsociety Says:

    Someone told me …
    Someone told me there’d be Cheeze Doodlez. They lied.

    Who knew that YouTube was the place to go to learn to knit? Yay!

    Sure, while away your time knitting while the K’lai plan their second attack on Earth! The Star Marines need you, with such nubile hands you should be piloting a starshuttle.

    That actually looks more awkward to me that purling.
