I'm trying to switch to continental knitting (from english throw knitting). Thanks Miriam Tegeles.
(and the only thing it has done so far, is make a mess of the towel I am knitting AND slow me down............)

That lady is amazing!!!

I didn't know there were different styles of knitting.. I guess I was learning continental style! Knitters don't normally hold the yarn this way?

It's basically holding the yarn in your left hand vs. your right hand. And in continental you never let go. Which is why it was easier for me to figure out tension etc.

There are lots of different styles (including holding the needle under your arm (ETA: the Yarn Harlot does this) :wink:. I've even been looking at a purl that holds the yarn in the back (never bring yf).
But the two big variations happened after WWII, when English women didn't want to knit like Germans (Continental). So, they hold the yarn in their right hand. This is true of Americans, too. Continental is supposed to be much faster, though some 'flickers' can get quite fast, too.

Wait, you have that qual? Why don't you just cap on those and not work on anything else all month?
Because apparently I watch too much of the video and they get all ate up by the time I make my decisions.


EDIT: That or I"m easily distracted.
