Knitting with the yarn held in the ...Hey Michelle! Knitting with the yarn held in the l.h. is called Continental Style. I first learned the US style (yarn in r.h.), and believe me, Continental is LOADS faster. Also, I think it would work better for stranded work.<BR/><BR/>Switching was a bear, but it has soooo paid off. I can't believe how much faster I knit now. I can finish an adult woman's sweater in about a month. Before, it took me at least three to four months. Also, I think it's easier on the hands.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see more pics of your mittens!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145855756986253836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-1166763014763806492006-12-21T20:50:00.000-08:002006-12-21T20:50:00.000-08:00There's the videos at knittinghelp.com (look under...There's the videos at knittinghelp.com (look under Advanced Techniques), which might help too--it always makes it so much easier for me when I can see stuff in motion!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940586419664612837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-1166729491062758752006-12-21T11:31:00.000-08:002006-12-21T11:31:00.000-08:00You'll get it - I KNOW you will.

Sometimes 1 color in each hand like your link; sometimes both colors in the same hand but different fingers and sometimes I drop one and pick up the other which is slower, but gives me the best tension....good luck!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926130849701251112noreply@blogger.com
