@ms.flaneure: 3 tips to learn continental knitting. With any knitting technique, you need three things for it to work smoothly: yarn tension, left-hand positioning and right-hand movement. 1. Get the tension right. Wrap the yarn once around your left hand, then over your index finger, to hold it taut while the needle moves. 2. Keep your stitches close to the tip. Slide a few up the left needle and hold them snugly under your fingers, but not so many that they slip off. 3. Imagine the right needle picking the yarn through the stitch, which is why continental is also called "picking." Purling works the same way, with one change: bring the yarn to the front, insert the needle purlwise, then use your index finger to wrap the yarn over and down, counterclockwise, before you pull it through. Continental knitting is perfect for knitting in the round for long hours. It keeps the movement in your fingers instead of your arm, so there's less strain on your arm and shoulders. Save this for when you knit in the round and follow for more tips. #continentalknitting #knittingtips #knittingtutorial #knitting #knittok
