You can find a video about my purling method here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psh-ZLWil7-qnmQ.html The demonstration begins at 2:48. There's a link in the description to jump you to that point.

Short rows are a vertical shaping technique that allow you to had more length across some of the sts on the needles, just like increases and decreases allow you to add/reduce the width of a fabric. I have a playlist of videos on short rows, which might help you understand some of their uses. kzfaq.info/sun/PL1AZxTfSCe2cN-DX80Al56SnjN4Um1Uvr

@@RoxanneRichardson Ah! Thank you! I’ve used provisional bind-offs and putting stitches on holders but this is new to me.

I have a playlist of short row videos on my channel, including a video on substituting short rows: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcmJZ7iAl5uYomw.html

There are some people who work their short rows so that the double stitch is in the spot where the wrap would be. My preference is to maintain the location of the turn. You could argue either way (and people do), but my reasoning comes from a design perspective. If you design the shaping with the turns in a particular location, the technique you apply to the turn to avoid a hole and to avoid the selvedge stitch bump will place the "flag" that signals the previous turn (the wrap or the double stitch) in different locations. (It's like marking the location of a river by placing a flag on one riverbank vs the other. The river doesn't change location, but the flags do.) You might be interested in my other videos on GSRs, including the one that compares various short row methods, and the one on substitutions. kzfaq.info/sun/PL1AZxTfSCe2cN-DX80Al56SnjN4Um1Uvr

Thank you. It was presented to me as gospel handed down on Mt. Sinai. As a very sheepish knitter, I saw no reason to question.

Again, lots of people do it that way. In many cases, it won't make a big difference, but I like to have a *reason* for picking one method over another, rather than following a rule of thumb blindly. Short rows can seem very mysterious (I think it took me four years to really "get" them), so from the perspective of a knitter following a pattern and wanting to make a substitution, it may feel like what is important is the flag signaling the turn, and not the turn, itself.

Roxanne Richardson, I have a couple of these vintage Aero needles, one in a size 3 single point, and the other in a size 9 circular (don't remember the length). I love them and googled them online. I did find them but don't know if they have the same coating, like you mentioned. You mentioned somewhere in these comments the yarn you were using in this video has been discontinued, but can you tell me who makes it and what yarn might be similar in quality and weight?

Sorry! I don't know what else to tell you. I know how frustrating it is to have that problem with a video, but I don't know what causes the issue when it happens and it's clear the problem isn't with the video itself. The only other suggestions I could offer are to try a different browser, or re-boot. I occasionally have video-caused lockups on my computer, which seem to be the result of conflicts between various players.

The shortrow technique used in your pattern is a yarnover shortrow, which is different than the technique shown in the above video. In your case, once you have stopped 2 sts short of each end, you can use the YOs as a signal to stop 2 sts prior to the previous YO before turning. In general, the best way to get help on a specific pattern is to contact the designer. Alternatively, you could post a question on Ravelry.

Roxanne Richardson Thank you for your help and prompt response!

It doesn't appear to be a problem with the video itself. When I've had that problem with other KZfaq videos, I can usually click just past the hang-up point and the video will continue on.

Like many knitters, I often use "knit" in the generic sense, as in "work" the stitches however they need to be worked to maintain the pattern. Not a lot I can do about correcting it 11 years later! :-)
