I'm knitting wrong??!!!
It seems I am indeed knitting "wrong". But not totally. While eatting breakfast this morn, I was perusing Knittinghelp.com and discovered I'm not doing the knit stitch the way she is. Hmmm.. So I carefully watch her and learn that I am knitting the "Combined Method". Which isn't really wrong, it just takes a few more steps to do other things like k2tog. So I pick up my dishcloth and I do the next row using the "right"way to knit. Suddenly I'm all thumbs again. Now I can purl better then knit. Sigh. I'm knitting looser then I was before. If I had only discovered this weeks ago. But since I have now figured out the whole slip 1 purlwise. Knitting the way I was, and then slipping one purlwise always seemed way wrong, and even looked wrong on the RS of whatever I was working on. Knitting the "right" way has cleared that up for me. Don't know how, or if it even makes sense, but hey, whatever.

Don't feel bad, I discovered after knitting for over a year, that I was knitting into the back of the loop and that's why a lot of my increases decreases and other stuff didn't look like the picture. it was awkward for at least 2 months, but I eventually got the hang of it! I guess that's the danger of teaching yourself through books and magazines.
