Can someone please offer me insight into how to slip purlwise?
Move the stitch from the left needle to the right needle by inserting RN into stitch purlwise and taking LN out of stitch, check out the videos on this site or tutorials with pictures online.
To slip purlwise you just slip the stitch from the left needle to the right as if you were going to purl it. Put your right needle in the front of the stitch from right to left and transfer it.
I moved this question to the How-To forum so it would be seen rather than leaving it in the “How to Post your Question” thread. OK?
I must admit this one has always puzzled me, too. Just move your stitch from left to right without twisting it and without knitting/purling it, right? (I would guess that slipping a stitch knitwise would twist the slipped stitch.)
Exactly–for a tighter slipped stitch, you slip it as if to knit, which does twist it. Purlwise is just basically transferring the stitch from one needle to the other.
