So I tried to follow the simple directions in Knit 2 Together (They have some really wonderful patterns!) And all it said was that you just twist the yarn counterclockwise (Or clockwise, I might have it mixed up) instead of clockwise when you’re making the new row of stitches. Apparently, I misread it, or they miswrote it because it came out exactly the same as the garter stitch when I was trying to do the stockinette. So if you would please give me some really simple easy to follow directions, (I’m more of a visual learner, so I mean really simple directions.) Or maybe a video even, if you can find one, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m trying to expand my knitting skills, so purling is something I kinda have to learn how to do…
