I've decided to put here some 'How to' posts from time to time to which I can refer in my patterns later. And who knows - maybe you'll find something useful too.
Today I will show how I knit a nupp. As for me this is an easiest way to knit the nupps - without any turn arounds, or hooks, or knitting and purling back and forth. And this is actually a classic method for knitting nupps in laced shawls - they are bumpy, but not to hard.
So, it's really easy and I've just made a few photos to help you understand the whole process but don't get scared by a lot of photos - it's much easier than it might look.
