More free videos available online at www.knittinghelp.com. Continental Method aka German Method sometimes called Left Handed Knitting Officially, anyone who holds the yarn in their left hand is a Continental knitter. Some continental knitters wrap the yarn between the needles to knit it, and some simply scoop, or "pick", the yarn with the needle. The latter requires fewer hand movements, and has a reputation of being the fastest method of knitting there is. This is my preferred knitting method.

when you first change from english to conti does the tension go to pot. ive never tried the conti . i go on throwing the yarn , some people say if you knit too fast you dont enjoy the process of creation. I been knitting for over 30 years
i am still NOT getting the third step!!! please hep!!! If anyone finds a better video that will help me for the third step that would be GREAT!!!! :))
Katie you can learn to knit fast with english knitting, it just takes practice..one way is to wrap the yarn round your middle finger and kind of flick it over the needle whilst still holding the needles with the other fingers.
English knitting is so-o-o-o much easier, and you can also hold the two strands for double knitting, or intarsia, or even Scandinavian tweandstikning, in the right hand (or leftif you are lefthanded)
Yes, you explain and demo the continental style for knit stitch very well. Also, I like your mnemonic for it. If I ever teach kids how to knit, I will use this mnemonic. Thanks!
