I have always knitted without turning and it wasn't till much later I found out that the I knit wasn't the normal way. The only problem with it is that most patterns are written for turning and if you don't want to turn you have to rewrite the pattern by taking every other line mirroring it and making knits into purls and the opposite. Which can be annoying. But if you are doing stockinette knitting you don't have to know how to purl.
I did this ever since first learning to knit, only I didn't realize how my stitches were leaning until much later. I can do it both ways continental now, but if its a complicated piece I knit normally. Also, I taught myself how to knit and found that I knit like Annie Modesitt. after realizing that, you have to know about your stitches and how to enter, etc, and then everything goes pretty fast using those techniques.
I saw your link for this on mdc.. how neat.. I dont knit tho only crochet...
so basically... and correct me if I'm wrong cause I wanna learn to do this... you knitting left handed and then right without turning or switching hands?
anyway.. nice video.. when I start to learn I will definately keep you in mind :D
