    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Understanding that you need to ‘knit off’ from the knit side and ‘purl off’ from the purl is a game changer!

    You need a medal.this is the simplest and clearest process, including the omission of set up stitches. I don’t know why it hasn’t been promoted more but it Definetely deserves to be

    Finally a method that eliminates the dog ears !!! I though I was doing something wrong when following other tutorials that claim to "Eliminate the dog ear" !.... All along I was thinking it seems to be the set up stitches that are creating the problem. WOW !!!! thanks for setting me on the right track. The mitten I just crafted is so tidy!!! AMEN !
