Great question! It does help a little with the stockinette curl, but it doesn't prevent it completely. Stockinette likes to curl in the middle as well as at the edges, so that pattern is a little more difficult to flatten. I often make stockinette into tubes (knitted in the round) and sew the ends together if I want to make something like a scarf or blanket with the stockinette pattern.
I work in what is called "continental style" holding the working yarn in my left hand. It can be a little tricky to get started, for sure! But I love this method, because there isn't quite as much arm motion. A bit easier on my wrists. ;)
Thanks so much..l slipped the first stitch knit wise but this one is so much neater
What gorgeous yarn and colour .
Thank you! I'm newer to knitting and didn't know the slip stitches

@@Purlsandpixels Ohhh ok! thank you 😸
I'm intrigued by how you knit like this - with the wool wrapped round your left fingers. Just tried it, but got in a tangle 🤣
