Concurrent with picking up a “no flip” method of knitting, a love of wrap and turns quickly developed.  If you’re not turning your work, the “end” can easily happen anywhere along the row!  Dubbed “Short Row Swings” because of the back and forth swinging motion, a bit of anticipation and exhilaration appears just like when you swing on the swing and it transitions from forward to backward and back again.  In Turning Points, you’ll be crafting beautiful shawls as your stitches swing back and forth and only sometimes hit the actual end of the row.  Check out the video below for a right side and wrong side demonstration of the wrap and turn with Stockinette. Watch through to the end for a sneak peek at the 5 designs you can craft with this technique and the Turning Points book!
