The long rows in the scarf I'm working on are great for practising purling, though, and I've almost got the Norwegian method as fast as my knitting now.'norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673994227824410949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34814646.post-17626948494223788192009-03-27T08:28:00.000-04:002009-03-27T08:28:00.000-04:00Tried it out.

Conclusion: it will be useful to have a mix of technicques, because I think Modesitt's method is still faster for long stretches of purl because it's a simpler movement. But for ribbing I think the Norwegian purl will be quicker than switching the yarn around all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34814646.post-57815485172803792812009-03-23T01:21:00.000-04:002009-03-23T01:21:00.000-04:00Huh. I'll have to try it. I've been using Annie Mo...Huh. I'll have to try it. I've been using Annie Modesitt's combined method (there's a tutorial on her website) which makes my purling almost as fast as knitting, even though when knitting in the round you still have to sort of reach around behing the front leg (because purl sts come out mounted backward). Still, you have to bring the yarn around front with that technique, so Norwegian purling may end yup being even faster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
