1 Try and keep your left-hand index finger extended for your tension.  Use the middle finger of your left hand as a “back-board” for your right-hand needle to work off of.  Keep work fairly close to tips of needles, but not so close that the stitches fall off! Your right-hand index finger will keep your work from sliding off your right-hand needle.

2 Insert right-hand needle into first stitch on the left needle.

3 Swing your needle up over the top of the yarn.

4 Bring the tip of your right-hand needle down a bit and through the left-hand stitch.

5 Bring the yarn completely through and pull toward the right.

6 Lift stitch off the left hand needle, pulling the left hand stitch off the left needle as you pull. Don't pull tight and make your stitch too tight! Grannie Linda only does this when she is watching an exciting movie while she is knitting! This is the "Continental" method - or "pick knitting".

Knit across the row, then go to "The Purl Stitch".
