Knitting Backwards
for some reason some people hat purling. or maybe they don't want to do a lot of turning their work when dealing with a small knitting project, or turning a lot as you would have to do in Enterlac knitting.so lets see if i can explain this so you can understand it. i haven't done this as yet. I don't have a problem with purling and i haven't tried enterlac either.
1. after knitting a row. instead of turning, leave your work facing you. Insert the left needle into the loop leaving it behind the right needle.
2. wrap your yarn around, back to frount and pull through the stitch. taking the remain loop of the right needle.
here is another explanation.
Hold yarn in your right hand.
Insert left-hand needle into stitch from row you just finished, inserting needle from the front (left) toward the back (right).
The left-hand needle will be behind the right-hand needle.
To knit stitch, bring yarn over left-hand needle (lifting yarn up and over the top of the needle)
Back left-hand needle out of stitch from previous row,being very careful not to drop newly created stitch.
Slide stitch from previous row offright-hand needle.
i hope you found this informative and usefull.
it's nice to know the new knitting skill, but if you post more pictures, it would help people understand better

Not true. You can do this as an English knitter or a continental knitter and you can also purl backwards as an English knitter or a continental knitter. I love purling, but at times I can see the usefulness of knitting or purling backwards. However, whenever I try it, my stitches are not as even, so I haven’t done much with it. I guess I need to just give in and do a big swatch for practice. this seems a little complicated haha but i knit english style and purl rows especially with a lot of stitch count takes soooo long to finish. would definitely give this tipa try though. thanks so much for sharing! Thanks for sharing, this helped me figure out why some guides were so hard for me, I held my knitting the wrong way. Without this it would've been more difficult to see. It does work and is quite easy once you get a rhythm going.This is something I've been meaning to try and now I have!

thanks for the link! Thank you for this! I like to knit backwards in the continental method when I have very short rows because I hate having to turn the work. I have just knitted a baktus using this technique. It was fun! I am looking forward to use it in more complex knittings. Great tip! Many thanks for sharing! thanks for sharing :) Very nice one!
