Hello lovely ribbot army!! Today I learned how to knit! Man purl stitches or what ever the terminology is sucks. ITS SO DIFFICULT WHAT??? Knit stitch is much easier though. Anyways here it is!! It looks funny because i only in the most recent rows starting purling
…am I the only one that loves purls 
Well i say that now the only thing I can do is purl as knit stitch isnt cooperating
Oooo very cool cosmo! That yarn color is 10/10
Its actually the same yarn i learned how to crochet with aswell
so happy for you! I tried to learn many times and it was so hard! Finally, in 2017 I just decided I was going to learn to knit. I spent my whole summer watching different videos and trying every kind of method I could to get my own method. I can knit pretty much any way now, but I still have trouble with my purls and making them the same size as my knit stitches.
I practice making Western purls (wrapping counterclockwise, leading leg in front, stitch orientation leans to the left) but my preference is for Eastern purls (clockwise, leading leg behind the needle, stitch orientation leans to the right).
It can make stockinette look a little wonky if I make Western knits and Eastern purls, so I will often just make my knits Eastern too and then the yarn just stays behind the needle for both.
It’s comfortable for me because it’s like a crochet yarn over, and only slightly more effort than a Western knit stitch.
HTH 
Just curious where did you learn from??
My therapist
Woah thats a lot of stitches. I definitely want to become more skilled because I want to make clothes
Ooh that’s awesome!! Great job!
I do too!
They’re so fun
that yarn is beautiful omggg and good luck!! i’m also trying to learn how to knit, but the purl stitch is giving me a lot of hassle too
i can’t wait to see what you make <3
Good luck!!! Maybe try thinking of the purl as a sorta reverse knit. Thats what i had to do and it worked
i’ll give it a go, but it’s bound to get the best of me lmao!
also for some odd reason I can knit better with pencils than knitting needles 
HELP don’t you get lead (or graphite, rather) on the yarn??
LMAOOO how did you even discover that 
Uh surprisingly no??? Idk i was also using SUPER light graphite pencils (like 6 or 5 H because sensory issues i cant draw with them) and no graphite transfer at all
school boredom + yarn = knitting with pencils because i forgot my crochet hook
