Norwegian Purl

I spent part of today learning Cat B.’s continental purl, but found that having the stitches twisted was discouraging, because I couldn’t really tell which ones were purl and knit stitches when I was checking my work. They basically all looked like mistakes. She mentioned in the video to expect this, and gives a solution, but I decided to look into Norwegian purl, which she says is similar to her way. I looked around on YouTube, and found several where the instructor is absolutely flying through the work, and I couldn’ t follow what was going on. Cheryl Kemp’s instructions finally were clear enough for me to get it. Now I can purl continental, which I hadn’t been able to do so far.

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank. I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
