This tutorial is well overdue – you’ve been asking about the way I knit for quite some time now, but there was always some other exciting technique that I wanted to share with you, so I kept postponing this tutorial.
The truth is because I’ve been using Continental knitting
style for years, it seemed trivial, not interesting enough. Until I
decided to learn the Norwegian way of purling. That’s when I realised
that no matter how simple a knitting style could be to a person who’s
been doing it for years, it’s still quite a challenge for someone who’s
new to it.
With that “newbie learning” in mind, I want to show you
in an easy to follow step by step way how to work using the Continental
style of knitting.
In this tutorial, we’ll discuss how to cast on, hold the yarn and adjust yarn tension. And we’ll get to knitting, purling and binding off stitches next time.
That’s it for today. Practice both ways to set up working yarn to see which way if more comfortable for you. Next time, we’ll get to knitting and purling using the Continental style of knitting.
