Yesterday I taught a class on Continental Knitting at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop in Hillsborough, NC. I made this video as a reference for my students.

Continental Knitting is a style of knitting where the knitter holds their yarn in their left hand and "picks" the yarn. For most of my knitting career I was an "English" knitting, holding the yarn in my right hand. A couple of years ago I learned to knit in the Continental Style and do most of my projects now this way. It's been helpful for me as a teacher to know both of these styles of knitting. This style has also helped me knit faster and with less hand and shoulder pain. I hope you enjoy the video.
