This blog is about a new stitch I learnt in my knitting lesson called purling. It is a very uncomplicated stitch if you have already learnt how to do the knit stitch (this is also on my blog). I found that it was better to learn the knit stitch first however some may disagree.
Casting on close-up
First before purling I cast on twenty stitches to start my sample.

To purl start by putting the right needle into the top of the first stitch on the left needle making sure you have a X formed with the right needle at the front. Then wrap your wool around the right needle and pull the right needle through the stitch, taking the wrapped around wool with it and then put it onto the right needle. After this keep going until you want to stop purling.
This is a great stitch to use, when I used it the sides of my knitting didn't curl up and it looks nice as well. It is something different and would be good to put pattern in my knitting.
Below is a video of the purl stitch:
After purling five rows I then went on to do knit a line purl a line for about ten lines and then went back to purl five lines. This was a sample and it looked like a piece you could use for a cuff on a jumper.

I have not yet put a image on of my sample as I forgot to photograph it but it turned out amazingly well and I am really pleased with it.
On my next blogs I will be doing Knit one, purl one rib and felting so please have a look guys x
