That's awesome! Watching the "backwards" knitting video on youtube made my brain try to flip over in my skull but it was still very cool! Don't worry about knitting in public or what other knitters might think. Remember it's not about the process, it's about the finished product and your finished products are lovely :) <em>Thank you so much Tamara! :) Sorry about taking so long to get this comment approved and replied to. Bad Blogger! I really need to get my butt back over here more and pay attention to this poor neglected blog. I once had so much fun with it and now it sits while I play with my gardening blog. So sad. Thank you again for the nice comment. I will remember what you said about not letting other knitter's looks get to me. ;) -Cynthia</em> Ha! That’s awesome!

Perfect for short rows and especially stockinette if you not a fan of purling! I've actually tried to learn knitting "backwards" on purpose just so that I wouldn't have to purl. It was awkward for me and my gauge got all off, so I figured I better just learn to like purling more. Someday I may give it a try again. I definitely wouldn't feel embarrassed though. It is a skill that some right-handers, like me, covet! :-) Well, you can take comfort in the fact that once you learn to knit “forwards” you’ll never have to turn your work again!
