Another brand new knitter here - long time crocheter! This site has been immensely helpful, after many tries at knitting …
Maybe I’ve missed something, but I’m having a difficult time recognizing the difference between a knit stitch and a purl stitch once it has been made. I’m playing around with a pattern that indicates “k the k sts and p the p sts” for every other row. I guess I can go to the instructions for the previous row and simply follow it backwards, but surely I should be able to recognize the stitches. Sometimes I think I do, but then it doesn’t seem so clear.
Is there some trick to this that I’m missing? Or maybe my stitches aren’t so good so they don’t look like they should? Maybe someone could point me to one of the instructional videos that will show this … I haven’t seen it yet, but maybe I skipped it?
