Circular Knitting - Working inside out

Following my first blog post asking readers if they knit inside out or right-side out in the round, a few friends asked if I could show them what I mean by "inside out". I hope this helps! Please note that I am in no way saying that the way I knit is right (or wrong). Please knit the way you feel comfortable :)

Oooh THANK YOU!! I thought I was going to have to rip back my work! You said everything just the way I needed to hear it. #phew

Oh dear I’m so sorry for this super late reply. I’m really not great at this KZbin stuff ahaha. I’m so glad this helped you!!!!

Great idea....I wish I had learned this decades ago....thanks!

I'm more comfortable that way too. I know the knitting actually grows in the up direction when you start, but I don't like feeling assaulted by the piece coming at me. Back off, buddy! "I'm not an animal. I just knit inside-out."

So well said there, “Back off” indeed hahahaa!!!

Thank you, that was just useful to see as I'm going to use this technique for a colourwork yoke:)

[@jencl3863]

Apologies for the delayed response, I sure hope it made things more even and comfortable when you knit that colourwork yoke!

I have a crazy thing going on with my hat I am knitting in the round. It's as you say, but the working yarn is on the wrong needle... I had to unravel it and then I put it all back on the magic needles but I can't figure out why the working yarn is on the left needle... what have I done!? (or am I being daft... most likely!) Also, related to this, do I have to reverse the pattern (i.e. purl when it says knit or knit when it says purl) if my pattern requires knit a row then purl a row..?

nice

Ugh I’m so sorry I’ve neglected this KZbin thing for ages!! How did you go? We’re you able to work out what happened?

[@cocoandrobin]

@@jencl3863 No problem! Yes I had started knitting the wrong way round, so the hat had slipped through the circular needles and I didn't realise!! Thanks for getting back to me! 🥰
