Mini-Knitting Lesson One

MINI KNITTING LESSON....OR HOW NOT TO HOLD NEEDLES WHEN YOU WANT YOUR PATTERN STITCHES TO APPEAR ON THE *OUTSIDE* OF YOUR SOCK This series of photos was taken by Linda to show a beginner knitter (me) how *n knit inside out. The ribbing always looked okay but when I got to the stockinette part of the sock, the sock formed with the smooth knit side on the inside.
Knitting Inside Out

These two photos show the position our beginner knitter's needles were in. She was knitting into the center of the sock, so to speak. When she was holding the needles in knitting position, the sock was in "front" of the working needles.

Knitting Right Side Out

These two photos show the position the needles are usually in when knitting a sock in the round. Note the sock is "behind" the needles, in other words the knitter is knitting into the part of the sock closest to her.
