I have a theory. For some reason purling sometimes seems the bane of a Knitters existence. I have found very few knitters that really love to purl. They usually feel that this stitch slows them down. It does use a bit more yarn per stitch and who wants to use up your stash on the purl stitch? I think I know a way of curing the pessimistic purler. Now, this will only work on a brand new knitter who has never picked a pair of needles. I think Knitters should teach the purl stitch first. Why not? It creates the the same fabric as knitting every row. A new knitter won’t know any better and they will spend their new knitting time perfecting the purl stitch first. They will get more practice at it and will have it down. I think this will work. Now I need an unsuspecting victim…
