You guessed right - what follows "to knit" is "to purl". Just as in real life when you learned how to knit. You start with the knit stitch because it's easier to grasp and after a while your knitting teacher shows you how to purl and most knitting students groan. It is weird and difficult at the beginning but after a while we all get the hang of it.
to purl (verb) - links stricken
In German, there is no specific word for purl. Links stricken literally means "left knit", as opposed to rechts stricken (literally "right knit") from yesterday.
Completely coincidentally, today is the 17th anniversary of German Reunification. Get it? Left knit? Anyway, I am going to the reception of the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany tonight to celebrate this special day in German history. They're throwing a big party (I heard that 600 guests from the Atlanta area will be there.) at the Rialto Center. So I left the house all dolled up this morning…
I will rummage through my stash this weekend to look for prizes for the quiz I mentioned at the start of the month. Allison had a great idea!!! She suggested a little swatch contest with German instructions at the end of the month. Thanks Allison - done deal!
