Perfecting the perpendicular pickup

To get the neatest pick up from knitted selvedges, I had to figure out how to find the thread between the last stitch of one row and the first stitch of the next. Here I demonstrate how to find that thread on a stockinette selvedge. More info on my blog: http://fuzzyjay.blogspot.com/2010/03/perfecting-perpendicular-pickup.html

I love this. I love to knit entralac and always wondered if there was a better way to pick up the stitches. Can you do it the same way when you have to pick up and purl?

@jsbaier I will eventually make a video to show picking up stitches from the purl (reverse stockinette) side. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for sharing this technique!

The stitches look so much better / cleaner picked up this way :)
