backwards knitting

Thanks! Now I don't have to stop and switch hands, its a real pain and it wastes my time, I enjoy fast knitting but hate switcing hands, thanks so much!

If you knit portuguese style purling is very very easy and fast.

hey i do that i knit with my right hand and purl with my left hand and it is faster that way its a cool way to get your work done faster ;)

this is stupid. purling is just plain faster. it's not hard either... it would take me longer to learn to do this backward knitting stuff than it would to knit a whole garment.

Great demo. Thanks for doing it so slowly so I could really see what you're doing. Super help.

Thank you! The speed of knitting are very good and clear for demo.

I watched this 3 times & couldn't see how this was purling, it looked just like knitting to me. Then I realized - I'm left-handed! Now I get it - I have to reverse it for myself (as I ALWAYS do) which then makes it backward knitting for a leftie. Ingeniuos! Thanks for a great video (even if it IS wrong-handed - LOL)

"Cool, but can you go faster than that? Cuz if not, avoiding purling is kinda pointless."

Of course you can do it faster than this, and you also never have to turn the work (when you get to the end you just keep going) so you save even more time that way.

Normal purling works faster for me. But sometimes you have pattern in which you only need a few purls (like entrelac knitting or the heel of a sock), than it's way faster.
