agreed... wrong camera angle especially for people learning to knit and purl...like me who just started.. and can not go to classes and no one i know knows how to knit...

@bellylaughing : This is also easier to do if you wrap the yarn around your index finger. It stays on better without slipping off.

I will continue looking for a good view of how to perl continental - or I must keep using the English method. Why is it so difficult to get a good camera angle in a Continental Purl tutorial?

To see how helpful it would be from the viewer's angle watch the video on how to knit continental by cyberseams. Much easier to follow.

this video is ok, but would have been a more useful tutorial if the camera were behind you and showing the needles from your point of view. Thanks for trying! :)

Good video, but it would be a lot more helpful if the camera angle showed the knitting from the knitter's point of view. A tutorial is usually easier to follow if I can see things from the angle I would be looking at it myself while I am knitting.

Thanks! :)
