Another even more cool picture at the end of your chair. :)

thanks for putting out this video for those of us, me anyway, who usually wondered...am I taking this purl stitch out right? Then spending some time looking at it and trying to decide if the stitch looked right on left hand needle. I have been spending a time doing just that. I am doing it right, but I am teaching myself how to knit lace so I can make my (husband's) mom an afghan. I am trying out patterns in a confused state. :-)

You're very welcome! Easier to un-knit or un-purl than to rip out and start over!

Thanks for the video. I LOVE that you use HUGE yarn. I makes it really easy to see.

Thanks a million! This is great information! I messed up a new lace project and need to go back a row.

You're welcome! When I teach someone to knit and purl, the next lesson is how to un-knit and un-purl. Heaven knows I use that one often enough myself!
