I love knitting and purling backwards. Many knitters learn to put the purl in reverse so their stockinette is easier, but I love putting EVERYTHING in reverse.⁠ ⁠ Here I’m working a bit of lace that has shaping on the RS and the WS. That’s where working backwards is a dream! You can always see what you are doing, and you are working in the same direction as the chart! No reversing anything in your brain.⁠ ⁠ It’s one of the things I teach in “Improve Your Knitting: Alternative Methods and Styles”
