Ah Ha!

I just learned how to knit backwards.

"Knit backwards?" you say. "How can you knit backwards? And just how useful is this?"

Most people find this technique useful for entrelac knitting where you have a small number of stitches and you knit across then have to turn to purl. But for me it just means never purling again, never turning a flat piece of work. EUREKA!!!!!!!!!

I hate purling.
