I was able to knit and purl separately with no problem, but I didn't know how to move my yarn front-back which... is kind of essential. So last night's attempt was a twisted abomination.. but 20s of a video and that gave me all the information I needed on how to move front-back in the same row... such relief.

After my relative ease of picking it up before now, I was worried that I would never recover from my one mistake lol!

I remember struggling a bit with that maneuver when I got started, and the “oh duh, yeah that’s how you do it” moment. In some advanced techniques you’ll actually want some of those yarn over mistakes you made. But not now. For now what you have done is perfect

your really doing well at picking up a new skill.

Dede39: you are lying to me but i appreciate it dede, ty

LukosTairov: hey, new skill. you have earned praise! Silly Lukos

Dede39: I'm enjoying it, at least! And it could be going worse! Child me couldn't get past this point and I'm barely cleverer, so I'll take it!

Weniki: I'm already scared to hear there are things like that lol. I just figured I had to wind around and then back through but... it's really just move it through the middle of the needles! It was SO obvious when I saw it done lol, it really did only need 20s of the video! Doh!

Yup! Once you see it, it seems so obvious.
