Norwegian Purl

Trying out a new technique again. I've been very slowly working on the Accordion sweater for lil K, and today decided to try a different purling technique. My knuckles have been sore lately, and it's likely from how I use my finger to "help" the purl when knitting continental. Well, wow, why did I not learn the Norwegian purl before? The yarn stays at the back of the work, so no moving back and forth, and there's no need for me to use my finger(s) to "help" the purl.

Wow...this may just speed along this little sweater!
