I just found out I've been purling wrong for the entire time I've been knitting. It's only been three months and I've knitted almost exclusively in the round, but I'm guessing that's why my seed stitch doesn't look right. Now I have to form a new habit...

It makes learning new techniques a little tricky, but I've come to find out that it makes wrapped short rows a piece... .

I am perfectly capable of many different stitches, and indeed I've knit several projects employing all sorts of stitches and techniques. However, my favorite is STILL plain ol' garter stitch! Whenever I KIP, I find I defend myself -- saying things like...

I have completed the front and back of a cowl neck sweater. After sewing the shoulder seams I need to pick up stitches around the neckline and knit the collar. Could someone please explain picking up stitches? Any special tips? Thank you

After picking up.
