"Portuguese Knitting" - yarn around the neck

[rhaubejoi]

oh my word! How graceful and lovely! I am just learning to knit (trying to teach myself by watching videos and reading books, since I don't know anyone who knits) and I could not manage the yarn on my fingers. I feel so clumsy. I think I need to try this instead of the other way. Thanks for sharing!

I've found this method much easier than the English style or Continental style. I have a problem with the knit stitch being a bit too tight, though.

it's very intersting . i wanna try this ... and is it easier to knit than knit English or Continental ? thanks ^^

@spinel20 I've read a lot people prefer this method because it's easier and not so hard for your hands than the other methods

Thank you so much for teaching this technique. Your instructions are so clear. I can knit again. I couldn't knit English or Continental because of shoulder pain, but now I can knit. Thank you again.
