Reverse (or backwards) knitting is something in often do on turning a sock heel. It can be Continental or throwing or flicking. See YT. It just avoids turning the work back and forth but I make a neater heel this way. 2

Reverse knitting is knitting from left to right. (Working yarn on the farthest left stitch). Reverse stockinette is all purls on the RS and all knits on the WS. If you flip it to the WS it looks like stockinette. 1

I have. However gauge and tape will change with blocking so now I prefer to block it first so I’m sure my weaving won’t show.

This is simply not true. 20% -40% of people with PD develop mild cognitive impairment which by definition doesn’t include memory loss and hallucinations. What you’re describing is far more likely to happen 20 years post Dx. Not 3 years. And some remain sharp as ever until the end.

I would try an LYS if you have one near you. At least in the USA fabric shops have either the most basic ugly boring cheap buttons or are ridiculously expensive for two buttons.

I’m disciplining myself not to comment on the 6 inch syndrome with all my will power. Ahem. If nothing works to smooth it out I’d take a small piece of mohair to tack it down to the stitch above it with one loop and weave the ends in. I think fussing too much with such delicate bits can backfire

I see. It’s in the round. So a trick I use is the attach a row counter to a safety pin and use that as my BORM. It’s right there to be advanced before I begin the next row.
Mullaneygem (@mullaneygem.bsky.social) reply parent
Do you put a marker designating the RS in your work ?
Mullaneygem (@mullaneygem.bsky.social) reply parent
The stitches face different directions w different techniques which is why one row looks closed and the next row looks open. If it doesn’t bother you leave it. But I think any improvement you might get with steaming will be temporary.

Apparently the spiritual being he refers to as “god” is Satan or the personification of evil. How could that possibly be the will of a good god? This is when I wished I believed in hell. He certainly earned an eternity there.
