Thank you for your post - wonderful demo! I’m a relatively new knitter and, while I do knit continental, I don’t even come close to the economy of motion shown in this demo. I’m off to grab my project du jour to knit along with the video on the second run-through! Sue

Great video! I’m a crocheter only at the moment, but I have been making little attempts here and there to knit. It seemed like a lot of work, but wow, continental seems so much smoother! They really explained the stitched well! Now, too bad they couldn’t show me an easy way to cast on, then I’d be set!
Thanks for the tut!

Actually, knittinghelp.com has a bunch of great videos like these to help knitters at any level - even those who’ve never knit before.

What a great video - when I knit (which is rarely), I’m a thrower, and I didn’t even realise that’s what it was called. As someone who prefers crochet to knitting, this method makes so much more sense to me, and I feel inspired to try knitting again.

I need to practice the continental method, I am a thrower now and know that it is not a fast or good way to knit. I think I would enjoy knitting so much more if I can convert to the continental method. Thanks for sharing this video.

[...] I know I am a beginner in crocheting and knitting but now I think I’m a level below “beginner.” What’s that called? [I’m also trying to convert my knitting method. Yes, I’m a thrower. Thanks to whip up’s post on continental knitting, I’m-a-changing my ways!] [...]
