Right now I'm working on a basket weave scarf. I'm using the scarf to practice my continental knitting. I learned to knit English/American throw-style, but after all these years my right wrist has started to bug me a lot. So far my tension is all over the place. Part of my problem is that I hold my left fingers a little too
straight. I'm trying to get myself to bend my fingers more and relax
them, but I think that's going to take awhile.
One thing I have discovered that I really like is Norwegian purling. You can check out a small video of it
here. Scroll down to the "Alternative Methods" section. I love not having to move the yarn to the front to purl. There is an extra movement to do this, but I find it a lot easier than regular continental purling.
I'm interested in trying the combination knitting developed by
Annie Modesitt, but I think I'll work on learning western continental first. I feel like a brand new knitter and don't feel like doing much knitting right now, because anything I really want to make right now I would have to do throw style.
Enough for now. I'll try to post some actual photos soon.
