*brushes hands together* My work here is done. :D

Oh, yes, knitting in this style does weird things to decreases and it makes finding good instructions on how to do things like knit into the front and back of the stitch a real challenge. I've never met anyone in the US who knits like me so it's awesome to have someone else. Feel free to yell my way if you are having problems translating American style into your style. I've done a lot of the heavy lifting here.

The day I encountered this style of making a stitch in a library book, I nearly cried because I felt so validated. It's technically called Eastern Uncrossed. There is an Eastern Crossed as well.

If you want to see a really wild way of knitting and purling, watch this video.
