It just means to knit (the knit stitch) for 3 rows. No increases, no decreases, no pattern stitches.
Even numbered rows. Often referred to as the "back".
It directs you to work (knit) the first 12 rows as directed then you are to knit the stripe pattern 6 additional rows, DECREASING when told which will then have you knitting 1 less stitch on alternate rows.
Are you knitting? If by basic stitch, you mean garter stitch, it is because you are knitting on both sides of the work. It may also mean your working yarn is in the wrong place when you attempt to pearl a stitch. A stockinette stitch is achieved by knitting on one side of the work and pearling on the other. When knitting, the working yarn should be at the back of the work, away from you. When pearling, the working yarn should be pulled between the needle and the work,( closest to you) and then work the stitch the same as a knit stitch. This should fix your problem, but if not, please ask more questions.
In knitting, the term "yfwd" is an abbreviation for "yarn forward." In order to do a yarn forward, simply pull the yarn strand with which you are knitting between the needles to the front of the work, so that it is in the position normally used when preparing to perform a purl stitch. That's all there is to it!
No.
Rows i had that question on my home work
Yes, there was knitting in the 1850's. Knitting is one of the oldest of the 'women's work' fiber skills. Today, we have evidence of knitted socks from Egypt, from the 11th century.
They are rubbery things that fit over the points of the knitting needles while storing the work in progress.
yes it does work but it wont with threading string.
knitting most of the time and a spinning needle
there is 250 rows in a spread sheet
Seated rows mainly work your rhomboids and biceps, and a little bit of your latissimus dorsi.
Rows are primarily used to work your back but they also work your biceps and I suppose your legs a little bit.
