Continental Knitting
There are two main methods of knitting, the one used on this site is generally called the English method. The other is the Continental Knitting Method.
The central difference between the two methods is which hand holds or controls the yarn. In English knitting, the yarn is held or controlled with the right hand and the yarn is flicked or 'thrown' over the left hand needle to form the new stitch.
Continental knitters hold the yarn in their left hand, and simply scoop or pick up the yarn with the right needle. Although until now, I have never used this method myself, it seems to be a much faster method of knitting.
As I personally have very little experience with this method of knitting, I have found a couple of instructional videos for you to look through!

Continental Purl Stitches
Both of these videos were created by www.knittinghelp.com, and yes, they are my competition.
Normally it would not make sense to suggest that you visit one of my competitors, but in this case my knowledge of this particular knitting method is limited and if you need more information, this is the site to visit!

Notice the different look and feel on some pages?
I am currently moving all of the pages to a new CSS driven template but with around 700 pages it is going to take me a while to get it done.
So in the meantime, I hope you will forgive the switch from one look to another as you navigate through the site...
