If my tail is on the opposite to the end of the row, does that mean that it will always indicate the ws? To clarify, I used a knit cast on, to eliminate guessing game of how much yarn I would need or how many sts I'd completed.
I saw this too. I believe it's because the purl technique shown puts the stitches on the needle the opposite way from the usual, so when you come to knit them on the next row you knit through the back loop to keep them straight (not twisted). Look at the other knit rows Emi does before the scallop row; she does the same thing there. Usually the right-most "leg" is in front of the needle. Emi's purling seems to keep the tension very nice and even. I have difficulty keeping purl and knit tension the same and may try this way! We just need to "read" the formerly purled stitches and knit through the right "leg," in whichever way keeps them un-twisted.
@@Hectanooga1 LOL, no, not a wrong way at all, just different! It's still easy to see how to knit the stitches on the next row, and your tension looks so even. I love seeing how you and others work their knitting; it's so fun and helpful. I learned something today from you!
I don't think you're doing it wrong. When you do the regular knit stitches, you're knitting through the front loop as we normally do. But on JUST the scallop row, you're knitting through the back loop. People just need to be aware of that. There's nothing wrong with it. Thanks again for the video.
You're not doing it wrong. The regular knit stitches are done the normal way. It's just on that last scallop row that you're knitting through the back loop. There's nothing wrong with that. People just need to be aware that it's different on the scallop row.
