yall make continental purling harder than it needs to be

@Kabgirl24 ... Thank you

For a beginning knitter it can be confusing to be taught to purl in this method and then told to knit into the back of the stitch. For a more experienced knitter, this should not be a problem. but I do not recommend this for a beginner or novice knitter.

This method of purling causes your stitches to be twisted.

Good grief! I'd a started over making this vid.

I just learned Continental and you just took all of the fear and aggravation out of purling. Thank you SO MUCH.

This is how I learned to purl. No big deal to knit through the back loop. You did excellent details!

@pheadrasfall Yes this method does twist the stitches but you can make up for that by simply knitting in the back of the stitches in the return ( you insert your needle from the right instead of the left ), when you do that your stitches aren't twisted. This is easier but obviously it's sort of cheating !
