Ok, got the hang of it, which side is the front, the outside or the inside?
If I'm doing a cable and I want to take a stitch to the front then this goes on the outside, and to the back the inside of the work?

Think I'm right, but just spent 2 hours knitting a cuff and don't want to get it wrong now


It's a long cuff, it's getting doubled over on itself, why am I making excuses for my slow knitting, I'm a bloke, it's hard knitting when you don't have the genes inbuilt

are you doing stocking stitch or rib?

If stocking stitch then the side with the Vs is the front. If it's rib you can choose which side is the front, inside or out, just stick to it. Will we be getting piccies of the finished cuff?

I'm doing twisted rib, ive got it all wrong, the inside is the face, if I ever finish it I'll post picked of my mittens,

They're blue

I knitted a jumper in the round. It started out with double rib, so I picked which side was the wrong side and knitted in all the yarn tails. Then when it changed to stocking stitch further down, the wrong side became the right side, cos I didn't check first, so I had to pull out all the tails and sew them in the other side when I'd finished it.

So even with the genes built-in it still goes wrong sometimes

No reason why a bloke shouldn't knit.  Sailors used to knit when they were at sea to give them something to do in the evenings.  No excuse either.
