30 Day Knitting Challenge Day 18: Do you knit English or Continental?
Yes. (Be kind; these are my first-ever videos of me knitting. I need a better set-up if I decide to do this on the regular.)
And backwards too:
18/30 Do you knit English or Continental?
Little Golden Notebook 
The backwards knitting still fries my brain! I might try the continental style though as it looks a bit more efficient possibly. I actually didn’t think I let go of the needle to wrap the yarn around so had to go knit a row to check, and of course I do let go.

I’ve tried not letting go of the needle when I knit English – I’ve seen people do it – but my fingers won’t cooperate. I feel like they should be able to stretch to get the yarn around the needle & they just aren’t built that way.

I’ve got no chance I don’t think – my hands are laughably (apparently!) small!

I do both in knit stitches, but when I purl I choose to use the Norwegian purl or English.

I tried Norwegian purl a long time ago and couldn’t get the hang of it, but there are tons of youtube videos so I think I’ll have to try it again. It’s fun to learn new techniques!

Yes, it took a few videos to get me through it. After practicing for a few rows I finally got it…lol.
