Continental Style knitting
I KNOW 'continental style' knitting (where the yarn is held in the left
hand, as in crochet) is faster than 'American style' (where you hold the yarn in your right hand and 'throw' it over the needle). I've seen the video's. But, oh, the learning! With a niece and a nephew each expecting an addition to their families, I figured a baby blanket would be the perfect way to learn this new (to me) method. I chose one that was primarily garter stitch (re-learn one stitch at a time!). I find it much slower than my 'throw' method because the movements are new. And, each time I pick it up, I find myself 'reverting' to my old method out of habit! So, I will try and persevere, because I have so many knitted projects in my head right now I could certainly use a faster way to knit. Lisa in NJ |
