Continental Knitting

There is much debate in knitting circles as to which is the true and traditional knitting technique the English or the Continental.  Even more debates as to which is best and easiest to learn.

How these two techniques derived is not entirely clear, but like any craft, over the years the master craftsmen(women) have looked at ways to improve their techniques to make it easier and more efficient.  It is all part of the evolution of Knitting.

Knitting Instructions

How and when knitting was first started is also a debate amongst many historians, with records from  historians dating the art of knitting  to 2000 and 3000 years ago, with artefacts being found that date back to the third and sixth centuries AD.

Many knitters also argue that knitting using the Continental style is faster, as there is more efficient useage of hand movements, for others they find difficulty with the co-ordination of movement, as knitting Continental style requires much more co-ordination using the left hand.  For these knitters it defeats the efficiency agruement as they have to go back and pick up the dropped stitches.

As Knitting Continental style does require a lot more co-ordination using the left hand, for many new knitters they can find themselves in a tangle.

It is for this reason that  Knit-easy has ensured that both techniques are explained and illustrated inside their new ebook Knit-easy - a Knitter's Guide to Success
