When The Sun Don't Shine...

I've started the long "learning to purl" slog again -- hence there is nothing to show this evening because I didn't want to take a picture of the results. I've almost got it, but I do something on my knit stitch that makes it even and loose, and I'm not doing whatever that is when I purl which makes it really... really... tight and the next row is just painful to get through. So yeah. I'll get there. Maybe.

In the meantime, I got my birthday present. The cats are currently shredding the big block of styrofoam it came packaged in, which is fun for them but going to be a nightmare to clean up. But isn't this thing awesome? It's solar powered, so the light is on at night.


All I can say is that there are worse addictions than garden gnomes. So there.

    In your purl try wrapping the yarn the other way from how you're currently doing it. I had the same problem but this fixed it for me.

    I think part of the problem is that I may be holding everything the wrong way when I knit -- so it works great for that but makes it impossible to purl. I might have to go back and unlearn some things so I can start doing everything correctly.
