It's just like starting over

I've been wanting to learn how to knit Continental, but haven't felt comfortable purling that way. But this week I read about Norwegian purling, and this technique may make a convert out of me yet. It's a bit more involved than your standard Continential purl, but I like how the yarn stays in back of the work and you don't have to move your left index (or middle) finger so much.

I'm not abandoning the English method, but it sure would be nice to work some other muscles in my hands and wrists. These small needles are taking their toll.
