Learn how to Knit Continental-Style
Continental knitting is also known as, German knitting, European knitting, or picking. You'll learn how to hold the yarn differently, eliminating the yarn over/throwing your hand and arm the way you do for English-style knitting. Also, because of this you can reduce the strain on your hands and shoulders, and with a shorter distance between your needles and yarn, you can knit a lot faster! No Previous experience necessary.
