I think I would enjoy knitting so much more if I can convert to the continental method. Thanks for sharing this video.

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 am a "thrower" but have been wanting to learn continental...this is enough to make me want to know how to do it! :) Very, very cool…thanks for sharing that!

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! Great video!

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 Thank you for your post – wonderful demo!
