Default I just found out what purl is in knitty.

I was just got to watch this new show called Knitty Gritty and there
was a woman on it showing people how to make a flap hat. She got to the
point where she told about about the purl stitch and I saw what that
was b/c I watch really hard at the television screen. Purl means two
stiches together. It like saying do a double crochet but only in the
stick way. I say her take a yarn wrap a round one stic and slide two on
the other. Am I right about that or did I seen it wrong?

From what I understand she was probably doing a slip stitch decrease
(purlwise). A purl stitch is essetially a backwards knit stich. You
move your working yarn to the front of your work, and then go into the
back of one stitch. Here is a site that has videos that can help you -

Hope that helps.

Was it the Camoflauge earflap hat? I just made one of those (finished
it this past Saturday) for my Father in law for his Elk hunt in October
:-D

No it was one of those dull brown types with white fuzz. That is what
the woman made.

No, Just saw the Knitty Gritty on tv. They were just showing the stitch
on that hat and she look like she was doing two stitches with what she
call a purl. And I try to active the videos but no can do. I can't
download. I'm on a msntv classic. Not the newer verison.

The host of knitty gritty, Vickie Howell, has some how to's on her
website that are well illustrated. She has shows how to purl both
ways, English and Continental. Here's the website, just click on the
method that you use. I suggest trying the purl stitch out both ways to
see what is more comfortable for you. I have a friend that knits
English and purls Continental, it's all about what works for you -

no, no! purl does NOT mean 2 stitches together! She may have purled 2
stitches together, just like you can knit 2 stitches together, but putting 2
together is only a form on decreasing or used to make a special pattern, it
is not the stitch itself.
With knitting, you put the needle from the bottom up on the left stitch,
so both points are sticking up. With purling, you bring the yarn to the
front first, then put the point DOWN thru the stitch on the left needle and
wrap the yarn from the top down. You did not mention if you knit
continental or American style, so that will add to the confusion in trying
to explain. I knit American style (yarn thrower)
Here are some pics I found for purling:

If the link breaks, just go to their main help page and scroll down until
you see "how to purl a stitch" (not the lefty version, unless you are a
lefty):

I see you say you can't watch video
