I tried knitting once, let's just say I shouldn't be allowed to toy with pointy objects. I would call dibbs on it, but it wouldn't be fair to Pretty Scarf. Living in Houston it would be shown off once a year. If lucky. Awesome job! I tried knitting once, let’s just say I shouldn’t be allowed to toy with pointy objects.

You go on and wear that scarf. The difference between knit and purl is where you carry your working yarn. To do a knit stitch you are holding the yarn to the back of the work and you open your stitch from the front. To do a purl stitch you hold your yarn in front and you open the stitch from the back. You are correct in saying that a knit is a v, but if you do nothing but knit stitches, in every row, all of your stitches will look like horizontal bumps, but they won't necessarily be purl stitches. Have I lost you yet? It would be soo much easier to explain in pictures! Looking forward to seeing your next project:) Fantastic job! You go on and wear that scarf.

Knit some dryer sheets into your next project 2. Static is more attracted to synthetic material, may try changing yarn if that is possible. 3. Buy some conductive shoes, while this won't get rid of static in your scarf it will keep you from getting shocked and give me a reason to laugh at you. some tips on getting rid of static

When you look at it, a knit is a "V" shape. A purl is a horizontal line (-). That's how I understand it at least. Maybe I don't know as much as I'm claiming. ;) It’s how you do your loop with the needles. When you look at it, a knit is a “V” shape. A purl is a horizontal line (-).
