a knitting tip

Knitting is a form of meditation for me. It allows me to zone out so that I can zone in. So, I simplify my knitting. Baring this goal in mind, I "univented" this method.

When working a stitch pattern such as

Moss stitch
Row 1 & 2: knit 1, purl 1
Row 3 & 4: purl 1, knit 1
Repeat rows 1 to 4 for pattern

Or the Hurdle stitch as seen above I use two balls of yarn. I knit the first two rows from the first ball. Then I knit rows 3 and 4 from the second ball. This way I can tell without thinking which row I am knitting.
Happy knitting
