Backwards Knitting

This is great, thanks! just what i was looking for!! My husband (LOL) wanted to know if this was an option, i am so happy that i can show him that this technique does exist. It is just like knitting TBL, but on the RH needle instead of the LH!! Thanks for showing this!!

I call this "ambidextrous knitting" since, if you do it alot, you become equally dextrous knitting (and purling!) with both hands. I've been doing this since I was a child, since I taught myself to knit, and nobody told me not to knit with both hands. Note of caution: if knitting a pattern, remember that on all WS rows, K is now P, and vice versa.

This is so cool! I taught myself how to knit backwards quite by accident a few days ago in that I am casting off 240 stitches purlwise. I found that it was easier, and quicker to knit and cast off using the backwards technique.

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out how to do this , and the video makes it so easy.

Awesome video! I can even make sense of it as a left handed (non-continental) knitter!

The KnitWitch is wonderful; I have learned proper techniques from every video of hers I have watched. Thank you!!

Thats so fab - I had been trying to do this by myself and you made it so easy!!!!!
Thanks for all your great tutorial videos!

WOW! I didn't even know that was possible. I can't wait to try it!!

Thanks

Although I'm fine with purling, I'm glad to at least know how to knit backwards.

Your video was really, super clear and easy to follow, thanks!

I learned to knit from a book as a kid and never realized that you were supposed to turn your knitting! So I learned to knit like the book said first from your left to right then right to left. It didn't help that I am ambidexterious. Boy was I supprised when a friend watched me knit years later and told me that I was supposed to turn it when I got to the end of a row! Suddenly all of those patterns I couldn't figure out made sense!
