In this video I demonstrate the PTBL (purl through the back loop) stitch in slow motion.

The scarf on the mannequin (not my design) is Nauset Light Wrap. You can see this pattern here on Ravelry.

The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride Ginger DPNs. The yarn is just some leftover bulky wool.

Correcting a Dropped Yarn-Over

In this video, I show you how simple it is to correct a dropped yarn-over (YO) from the previous row/round.

The sample I use in this video is from my Learn to Knit Lace pattern and tutorial.

The scarf on the mannequin is Bay’s Edge (not my design). Here is my Ravelry project page with details on the yarn, etc.

The yarn I use is Knit Picks Stroll Gradient – it looks like this yarn may be discontinued. The needles are Knitter’s Pride Ginger DPNs.
