Description
If you struggle with purling or simply don't like to do it, perhaps you just haven't yet found the way that works best for you. There is always more than one way to do a thing in knitting, and knitters around the world purl in many different ways — one of which may be your new favorite. In this class, we'll practice the Norwegian purl, Russian/Eastern purling, and Portuguese purling. We'll also consider some of the common issues we have with standard purl techniques and some different ways to address them.
