The videos are misleading. I don't make such large movements with my

Check youtube for different ways `throwers' knit; you'll find that many
of them don't throw. Here's a few to get you started, the first one is
similar to how I knit, and also read the comments -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCO8qALs4-whttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xSRqavicgchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeTmm_EwZq0

I've tried knitting Continental Style, but am slow as molasses, and
need lots more practice. I'm much more comfortable knitting English
Style, and that's the way I was taught.

take care, Linda D. in B.C., Canada


Then I think you should knit english and practice will improve your speed.
